ACR 150 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Governor to protect religious liberty during declared state of emergency.

This concurrent resolution urges the Governor of New Jersey to ensure that religious freedom is protected during any declared state of emergency. The bill is non-binding and does not change laws or create new mandates; instead, it serves as a formal recommendation to the executive branch based on the argument that houses of worship should be treated similarly to other essential businesses. By citing past restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, the text highlights concerns that religious gatherings were unfairly limited compared to secular services. Ultimately, the measure asks the Governor to consider constitutional rights when issuing emergency orders that might affect places of worship.
