Designates July 3 of each year as "CROWN Act Day" in NJ.
SJR 61 is a joint resolution designating July 3 of each year as "CROWN Act Day" in New Jersey. It requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance of this day to commemorate the state's 2019 CROWN Act, which prohibits hair-based discrimination in workplaces and schools. This resolution does not create new legal requirements but formally recognizes the CROWN Act's significance and raises public awareness about hair discrimination affecting Black individuals.
