Establishes State Seal Task Force to review the State seal.
This bill establishes a 11-member State Seal Task Force to review New Jersey's state seal, adopted in 1777. The task force will analyze how the state's demographics, economy, and representation have changed since 1777, assess the seal's inclusiveness, and consider redesign options. It must hold at least three public hearings, include at least two high school students (with parental consent if under 18), and submit recommendations to the Legislature and Governor within 18 months. The bill does not mandate any seal changes but requires the task force to evaluate whether a redesign would better reflect modern New Jersey. The task force expires after submitting its final report.
