The resolution designates November 13 of each year as the Day of Civility in New Jersey, aligning it with World Kindness Day. It highlights the growing concern over divisive rhetoric in American political and social discourse, emphasizing the importance of civility—defined as courtesy and politeness—in enhancing social relations and improving governance. The resolution cites research indicating that a significant majority of Americans view incivility as a major problem, with many attributing its rise to politicians. Furthermore, it notes that most individuals have encountered incivility frequently, which can lead to negative outcomes such as intimidation and violence.

To promote civility, the resolution requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation recognizing this day and encourages public officials and citizens to engage in educational programs and activities that foster civility. The initiative aims to build national pride and reduce societal tensions, ultimately contributing to a more respectful and constructive public discourse. The resolution is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
