Designates third full week in May as "Roxie's Wish: Drowning Prevention Week for Children."
AJR 52 designates the third full week in May each year as "Roxie's Wish: Drowning Prevention Week for Children" in New Jersey. The resolution requests the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging communities, schools, and officials to promote drowning prevention awareness through local activities. It focuses on raising public awareness about proven safety strategies, such as close adult supervision, pool barriers, swimming lessons, and life jackets for non-swimmers. The bill directly affects New Jersey residents, particularly parents and caregivers of young children, by highlighting preventable drowning risks. This is a procedural resolution with no new regulations, solely aimed at increasing community awareness.
