SJR 47 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates month of March as "Military and Law Enforcement Working Dogs Month."

SJR 47 designates the month of March as "Military and Law Enforcement Working Dogs Month" in New Jersey to honor the service of working dogs and their handlers in military and law enforcement roles. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance through activities during March, aligning with National K9 Veterans Day on March 13th. This ceremonial resolution does not create new laws, funding, or obligations - it solely recognizes the historical contributions of these dogs, which have protected national security since the U.S. Army's 1942 K-9 Corps program and supported law enforcement since the 1970s.
