SJR 173 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates February 12th of each year as "Carly Day" in NJ.

This joint resolution designates February 12th of each year as "Carly Day" in New Jersey to honor Bayville resident Carly Fetzer, who lived with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (a congenital heart defect), and to raise awareness about congenital heart defects. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation recognizing this day, aligning with Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week (February 7-14). The resolution commemorates Carly's life and her family's foundation, which supports families and research for congenital heart defects. (Note: This is a ceremonial resolution, not a substantive law.)
