ASSEMBLY MILITARY AND VETERANS' AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 2106

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  JUNE 10, 2019

      The Assembly Military and Veterans’ Affairs Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 2106.

      This bill requires the Adjutant General to identify each New Jersey resident who enrolls in the United States Military Academy, United States Naval Academy, United States Coast Guard Academy, United States Merchant Marine Academy, or United States Air Force Academy, and issue a New Jersey State flag to that individual.

      This bill honors each resident of New Jersey who enrolls in a federal service academy for that individual’s commitment to the defense of New Jersey and the United States of America. These distinguished New Jersey residents have dedicated themselves to a life of military service, and have each demonstrated superior academic ability and integrity.

      Senate Bill No. 2106 is identical to Assembly Bill No. 4233 of 2018-2019.
