Designates October of each year as "Bullying Prevention Month."
SJR 57 designates October of each year as "Bullying Prevention Month" in New Jersey. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public awareness activities about bullying, its impacts, and prevention strategies. It does not create new laws or obligations but formally recognizes the month to promote education on bullying in all settings. This symbolic designation aligns with the existing "National Bullying Prevention Month" observed since 2010.
