Designates September 20 of each year as "Puerto Rican Day of Remembrance."

AJR 223 designates September 20 of each year as "Puerto Rican Day of Remembrance" in New Jersey. The bill honors the contributions of New Jersey's Puerto Rican community - home to approximately 500,000 residents - and commemorates those affected by Hurricane Maria, which struck Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017, causing widespread devastation and an estimated 5,000 fatalities. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observation through activities and programs. It is a commemorative measure with no binding policy changes, focusing solely on recognition and remembrance.
