The resolution designates the first Sunday of May each year as National Centenarian Day in New Jersey. This day is intended to celebrate and honor individuals who have reached the remarkable milestone of living for a century. It acknowledges the increasing number of centenarians globally, with over 570,000 individuals currently living to this age, and recognizes the significant historical events and societal changes they have witnessed throughout their lives.

The resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe National Centenarian Day with appropriate activities and programs. This initiative aims to promote appreciation for the wisdom and experiences of centenarians, fostering a deeper understanding of their contributions to society and the rich history they embody. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon its passage.
