Designates first full week of June of each year as "New Jersey Fishing and Boating Week."
AJR 165 designates the first full week of June each year as "New Jersey Fishing and Boating Week" to recognize the importance of these recreational activities. The bill directs the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance and requires the Division of Fish and Wildlife to publicize the week and coordinate at least one of the state's existing free fishing days with it. It does not create new laws, funding, or requirements - only establishes a symbolic observance. The bill directly affects all New Jersey residents by highlighting local fishing and boating opportunities, which include the state's coastline, lakes, and diverse species like striped bass and brook trout. This is a ceremonial resolution with no regulatory impact.
