Designates September of each year as "Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month" in NJ.

AJR 40 is a joint resolution designating September of each year as "Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month" in New Jersey. It does not create new laws or funding but asks the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging state agencies, organizations, and residents to hold awareness activities during September. The resolution directly supports individuals and families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a fatal genetic disease impacting about 1 in 3,500 male infants, by promoting public education and community engagement. The key mechanism is the Governor’s annual proclamation calling for observance through awareness programs. This is a ceremonial measure focused on raising visibility for DMD, not on changing medical access or policy.
