Designates June of each year as "Gun Violence Awareness Month."
AJR 144 is a symbolic resolution designating June of each year as "Gun Violence Awareness Month" in New Jersey. It does not create new laws or policies but requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and organizations to observe the month with awareness activities. The resolution cites statistics on gun violence impacts (like CDC data on firearm-related deaths) to support the designation, which directly affects all New Jersey residents through state recognition of the issue. This is a purely procedural resolution with no binding legislative effect.
