Designates month of July as "Diverse Business Month" in New Jersey.
This resolution designates July each year as "Diverse Business Month" in New Jersey to raise public awareness of businesses owned by people of color, women, veterans, and LGBTQ+ individuals. It does not create new laws or funding but requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging government officials, community leaders, and businesses to promote support for these enterprises. The resolution cites statistics showing diverse-owned businesses represent significant portions of New Jersey's economy (e.g., 21.7% owned by people of color) while facing challenges like limited capital access. It aims to foster reflection on supporting these businesses through annual observance, without mandating specific policy changes.
