Designates fourth Saturday of September each year as "New Jersey Hunting and Fishing Day."

SJR 36 designates the fourth Saturday of September each year as "New Jersey Hunting and Fishing Day" to recognize and promote these recreational activities. It directly affects New Jersey residents who hunt or fish, including the 94,000 hunters and 766,000 anglers who generated billions in economic activity in 2011. The bill requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging participation and directs the Division of Fish and Wildlife to publicize the day while coordinating at least one of the state’s free fishing days with it. This resolution does not change laws or funding but aims to highlight the connection between hunting/fishing, conservation, and community engagement.
