Bill Summary
Designates May of each year as "Older Americans Month" in New Jersey.
AI Summary
This Joint Resolution officially designates May of each year as "Older Americans Month" in New Jersey, a tradition that began nationally in 1963 as "Senior Citizens Month" and was later changed to "Older Americans Month" in 1980. The resolution acknowledges the significant social, civic, and economic contributions of older Americans, including veterans, who continue to enrich communities through volunteer work, arts, culture, civic engagement, and employment, especially as more are remaining in the workforce. It also recognizes the unique challenges older Americans have faced, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and emphasizes the state's commitment to ensuring they live active, productive, healthy, safe, and dignified lives, with the Governor being requested to issue a proclamation each year to encourage appropriate observances.
