Designates last week of April of each year as "Reentry Week."
SJR 97 designates the last week of April each year as "Reentry Week" in New Jersey to raise public awareness about the challenges formerly incarcerated individuals face when returning to their communities. The resolution specifically highlights barriers such as finding housing, employment, healthcare, and family reunification, encouraging state agencies and community organizations to support reentry efforts. It permits the Governor to issue an annual proclamation promoting observance of the week but does not create new laws or funding.
