The resolution designates August of each year as Civility Month in New Jersey, aiming to raise awareness about the issues caused by incivility and to promote respectful discourse and behavior among residents. It highlights the growing concern among Americans regarding the decline of civility in political and social interactions, attributing this trend to factors such as social media and the behavior of public figures. The resolution notes that many individuals have experienced incivility in various settings and believe it contributes to broader societal problems, including cyber-bullying and a lack of community engagement.

To commemorate Civility Month, the resolution requests that the Governor issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and residents to reflect on the importance of civility and to engage in activities that foster respect and consideration for others. By designating August as Civility Month, the resolution seeks to enhance social relations and improve the ability of political leaders to govern effectively, ultimately benefiting the community as a whole.
