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 P.L.2008, J.R.1, designates May of each year as "Jewish American Heritage Month" in the state, acknowledging the significant contributions and achievements of Jewish Americans to both New Jersey and the nation.

This change aims to ensure that New Jersey's observance is consistent with the federal designation, thereby honoring the Jewish American community in a manner that reflects the national celebration. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
