"New Jersey History Day Act."
This bill designates December 18 of each year as "New Jersey History Day" to honor the state's role in American history, particularly its early ratification of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation for the date and allows school districts to observe the day with educational activities such as student projects, local history exploration, and visits to historic sites. The New Jersey Historical Commission will support these efforts by creating resource materials, promoting participation, and offering grants to schools and community groups.
