Designates September 14 of each year "Latino Business Day" in New Jersey.
SJR 127 designates September 14 of each year as "Latino Business Day" in New Jersey. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation to raise public awareness of Latino-owned businesses' economic impact, which contribute over $800 billion annually to the U.S. economy and have grown 57% faster than white-owned businesses over the past decade. This ceremonial resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to recognize Latino entrepreneurs' role in job creation (3.5 million workers nationwide) and economic growth. It aligns with National Support Latino Business Day, observed on the same date.
