AJR 32 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates October as "Lead Poisoning Awareness Month."

AJR 32 designates October of each year as "Lead Poisoning Awareness Month" in New Jersey. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to raise public awareness about lead poisoning risks and prevention methods. It directly affects New Jersey residents by promoting education on lead exposure sources - such as lead-based paint in older homes and contaminated water - and screening for elevated blood lead levels. This procedural resolution does not create new laws but aims to increase community knowledge about a public health issue affecting children and adults.
