SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE
STATEMENT TO
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION No. 29
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: JUNE 10, 2024
The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Joint
Resolution No. 29.
This joint resolution designates the month of August each year
as “Professional Engineers Month” in New Jersey and first
Wednesday in August of each year as “Professional Engineering
Day.”
The licensing of professional engineers in the United States
began in August 1907 to ensure that the engineering profession is
practiced by qualified and ethically accountable professionals.
Professional engineers are dedicated to applying scientific
knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to develop solutions for
technical, societal, and commercial problems while holding the
public health, safety, and welfare paramount. Nearly 10,000
professional engineers in New Jersey contribute significantly to the
technological growth and economic well-being of the State through
their work in manufacturing, engineering services, scientific
research and development, construction, education, government,
industry, and private practice.
The designated month and day will reflect that professional
engineers should be recognized for their many achievements on
behalf of the industries, commerce, and the people of New Jersey,
and their commitment to protect the health, welfare, and safety of
the public above all other considerations. The designated month
and day will also highlight that the engineering profession offers a
unique and publicly oriented vocation for young people in the State
to be educated and trained to continue the work, innovation, and
accomplishments of their predecessors in improving the health,
welfare, and safety of the public. The joint resolution also
respectfully requests the Governor to issue an annual proclamation
calling upon the citizens of the State to participate fittingly in the
observance of “Professional Engineers Month” and “Professional
Engineering Day.”
This bill was prefiled for introduction in the 2024-2025 session
pending technical review. As reported, the bill includes the changes
required by technical review, which has been performed.
