Designates July 3 of each year as "CROWN Act Day" in NJ.
This bill designates July 3 of each year as "CROWN Act Day" in New Jersey to commemorate the state's 2019 passage of the CROWN Act, which prohibits workplace and educational discrimination based on hair texture or protective styles. The resolution requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the day with awareness activities and programs. It directly affects African-American individuals who may face hair-based discrimination in professional and educational settings by promoting visibility and education about the existing protections. The bill does not create new legal requirements but serves as a commemorative measure to highlight ongoing issues of hair discrimination.
