Amends Constitution to allow public funds to be used for historic preservation of places of worship.

This bill proposes amending New Jersey's constitution to allow public funds to be used for the historic preservation of places of worship. It directly responds to a 2023 New Jersey Supreme Court ruling (Freedom From Religion Foundation v. Morris County) that blocked the use of taxpayer funds for church restoration under historic preservation programs. The amendment would remove the current prohibition in the Religious Aid Clause (Article I, paragraph 3) specifically for historic preservation activities at religious sites. This change would permit counties and municipalities to allocate existing historic preservation funds toward repairing or restoring historically significant churches and other places of worship.
