Designates October of each year as "Opioid Abuse Prevention Month."

Senate Joint Resolution 139 designates October each year as Opioid Abuse Prevention Month in New Jersey to raise awareness about the dangers of opioid addiction. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to hold educational activities and programs focused on prevention, recovery, and support for those affected by the crisis. This symbolic measure aims to highlight the state's ongoing struggle with prescription painkiller abuse and its link to heroin use without mandating specific policy changes or funding.
