Designates 22nd day in October of each year as "Stuttering Awareness Day" and second full week in May of each year as "Stuttering Awareness Week."
AJR 138 designates October 22nd each year as "Stuttering Awareness Day" and the second full week in May as "Stuttering Awareness Week" in New Jersey. The resolution requests the Governor issue annual proclamations encouraging public observance through activities that promote awareness of existing support and treatment services for people who stutter. It does not create new programs, funding, or legal requirements. The bill focuses on raising public understanding of stuttering - a speech disorder affecting approximately 3 million Americans - without altering any policies or services. This is a symbolic, procedural resolution with no direct impact on specific individuals or organizations.
