Permanently designates the first Friday in February as "Give Kids a Smile Day" in New Jersey.
This bill permanently designates the first Friday in February as "Give Kids A Smile Day" throughout New Jersey to highlight the importance of oral health for children. The measure aims to connect underserved families with dental professionals for free screenings, education, and treatment while raising public awareness about access to dental care. Sponsored by Assemblywoman Carol A. Murphy, the resolution requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation to encourage community participation in the event. As a commemorative joint resolution, it does not alter existing laws or funding but establishes an official state observance date.
