Designates third full week in May as "Roxie's Wish: Drowning Prevention Week for Children."
AJR 28 designates the third full week in May each year as "Roxie's Wish: Drowning Prevention Week for Children" in New Jersey. The resolution encourages counties, cities, and school districts to promote drowning prevention awareness through local activities and programs. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation urging public officials and residents to observe the week, emphasizing proven safety strategies like close adult supervision, pool barriers, swimming lessons, and life jackets for non-swimmers. This commemorative resolution aims to raise public awareness about drowning being a leading cause of preventable child injury and death, particularly for children under five.
