SJR 98 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates November 13 of each year as "Day of Civility" in New Jersey.

This bill designates November 13 of each year as "Day of Civility" in New Jersey to coincide with World Kindness Day. The resolution asks the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the day with educational programs and activities focused on fostering politeness and respectful discourse. This symbolic measure directly affects state government officials and the general public by establishing a formal date for promoting civility, though it does not create new legal requirements or penalties. The bill relies on existing state procedures for proclamations and takes effect immediately upon passage.
