Designates November 13 of each year as "Day of Civility" in New Jersey.
SJR 169 is a symbolic resolution designating November 13 of each year as "Day of Civility" in New Jersey. It requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the day through educational programs and activities promoting courteous conduct. The resolution does not create new laws, funding, or obligations; it solely serves as a ceremonial observance. It aligns with "World Kindness Day" and references studies on public perceptions of incivility, but the measure itself has no enforceable provisions.
