SJR 46 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates neon yellow as official color to raise awareness of suicide among veterans.

SJR 46 designates neon yellow (Pantone 395), named "Vet 22" in New Jersey, as the official state color to raise awareness of veteran suicide. It directly affects New Jersey's 340,560 veterans (including 25,680 women) by symbolically highlighting the statistic that 22 veterans die by suicide daily. The bill serves solely as a symbolic gesture to draw attention to existing support programs for veterans' mental health, with no new funding or policy changes. It follows Pennsylvania's similar initiative and requires no action beyond the color designation.
