Designates May 15 of each year as "Water Safety Day" in New Jersey.
AJR 174 designates May 15 of each year as "Water Safety Day" in New Jersey to raise public awareness about preventing water-related injuries and drownings. The resolution requests the Governor issue a proclamation encouraging all New Jersey residents to observe the day through community activities focused on water safety education. It does not create new laws or programs but formally recognizes a date already designated nationally as Water Safety Day. The bill aims to highlight the importance of water safety practices, particularly given statistics showing drowning is a leading cause of death for children in New Jersey.
