Urges Miss America Pageant to return to Atlantic City.

This non-binding New Jersey Assembly Resolution (AR 166) urges the Miss America Organization to return the annual pageant to Atlantic City for 2025 and future years. It cites the pageant’s historical origins in Atlantic City since 1921, its 10-year hosting there from 2013 to 2024, and its role in awarding over $150 million in scholarships since 1945. The resolution specifically requests the organization host the event in Atlantic City, noting its long-standing ties to the city. It does not impose legal requirements but expresses the legislature’s preference based on the pageant’s historical significance to Atlantic City.
