SR 56 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Encourages residents of NJ to treat one another civilly amid period of increased political violence.

This is a symbolic Senate Resolution (SR 56), not a binding law. It urges New Jersey residents to practice greater civility in daily interactions amid rising national political violence, citing recent attacks on politicians (like the 2024 Trump rally shooting) and data showing increased threats to Congress. The resolution specifically calls on elected leaders to model respectful debate and condemns political violence, while emphasizing that improved courtesy - without new laws - can reduce stress and foster goodwill in neighborhoods. It has no legal effect but aims to encourage behavioral change through public appeal.
