A 1455 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes religious corporations to hold remote meetings during state of emergency declared by Governor.

This bill allows religious corporations in New Jersey to hold member meetings remotely during a state of emergency declared by the Governor. It amends existing law to permit such meetings if the corporation’s board adopts guidelines for remote participation, including verifying member identity, enabling voting, and recording actions. Remote participants are treated as physically present and can vote, ensuring their participation counts equally. The change directly affects religious organizations that currently require in-person member meetings under state law. It applies only during declared emergencies and does not alter regular meeting requirements.
