Designates first Sunday in May of each year as "Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day."

AJR 228 designates the first Sunday in May each year as "Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day" in New Jersey to honor volunteer and career firefighters who died in the line of duty. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance and urges all state and local government agencies to fly the U.S. and New Jersey flags at half-staff on this day. It directly affects New Jersey residents through state and local government actions, referencing 145 on-duty firefighter fatalities reported in the state between 1990 and 2024. The resolution is purely ceremonial, aligning New Jersey's observance with the existing National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service Day recognized by the federal government.
