The resolution proposes to change the observance of Jewish Heritage Month in New Jersey from April to May, aligning it with the national recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month, which was established by President George W. Bush on April 20, 2006. The amendment to the existing law aims to honor the diverse contributions and achievements of Jewish Americans to both the state and the nation.

By amending P.L.2008, J.R.1, the resolution designates May of each year as "Jewish American Heritage Month" in New Jersey. This change is intended to ensure consistency with the national observance and to further acknowledge the significant impact of Jewish Americans in the development of the state and the country. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
