AJR 98 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates fourth week in April of each year as "Every Kid Healthy Week."

AJR 98 designates the fourth week in April each year as "Every Kid Healthy Week" in New Jersey. This symbolic resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging schools, parents, and community organizations to promote healthy eating and physical activity during this week. It does not create new programs or funding but aims to raise awareness about childhood obesity, which affects an estimated 94,000 children aged 10-17 in the state. The resolution focuses on community engagement rather than policy changes.
