SJR 54 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates October of each year as "Domestic Violence Awareness Month."

SJR 54 designates October each year as "Domestic Violence Awareness Month" in New Jersey. The resolution requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the month with community activities. This procedural bill raises public awareness about domestic violence but does not create new laws, funding, or services for victims. It directly affects the state's public messaging around domestic violence prevention.
