Changes "Jewish Heritage Month" observed in April of each year to "Jewish American Heritage Month" to be observed in May of each year.
This bill updates New Jersey state law to officially recognize "Jewish American Heritage Month" instead of "Jewish Heritage Month." The change moves the observance from April to May to align with the federal designation established by President George W. Bush. By amending an existing statute, the measure ensures the state's recognition matches the national timeline and title.
