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 aged 100 or older, and recognizes the significant historical experiences and contributions of these individuals throughout their lives.

The aim is to foster appreciation for the wisdom and life experiences of centenarians, ensuring that their stories and memories are shared and celebrated within the community. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
