AJR 149 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates November 13 of each year as "Day of Civility" in New Jersey.

AJR 149 designates November 13 of each year as "Day of Civility" in New Jersey, aligning with the existing "World Kindness Day." The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the day through educational programs and activities focused on promoting courteous and respectful communication. This symbolic measure does not create new laws or funding but aims to address widespread public concern about declining civility, citing studies showing 93% of Americans view incivility as a significant problem.
