Designates October of each year as "Cider Month" in NJ.

This resolution designates October of each year as "Cider Month" in New Jersey to celebrate the apple harvest season and promote the state's cider industry. It requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging cider producers, apple farmers, and tourism officials to host events during October. The resolution highlights cider's historical role in New Jersey (dating to 17th-century orchards) and its current economic benefits, including supporting agriculture ($1.5 billion in 2022) and agrotourism ($67 million in 2024). As a symbolic gesture, it aligns with "National Cider Month" and aims to raise awareness for the industry without creating new regulations.
