SJR 15 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates second weekend of September each year as "Salute to Service and Sacrifice Weekend."

SJR 15 designates the second weekend of September each year as "Salute to Service and Sacrifice Weekend" in New Jersey. The bill directly honors fallen police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical services (EMS) professionals, acknowledging that over 600 firefighters and 500 police officers have died in the line of duty since recordkeeping began. It requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation urging public officials and residents to observe the weekend with appropriate ceremonies and activities. The resolution focuses solely on symbolic recognition, with no new programs or funding, and takes effect immediately upon passage.
