Condemns Hong Kong national security law passed by People's Republic of China on June 30, 2020.

ACR 15 is a New Jersey concurrent resolution condemning China's Hong Kong national security law, enacted on June 30, 2020. The resolution states the law was passed without public input, defines vague crimes (like separatism and collusion with foreign entities) with penalties up to life imprisonment, and undermines Hong Kong's autonomy by enabling Chinese government intervention in its legal system. It also notes the law has been used to arrest protesters and restrict freedoms, citing specific examples like the July 2020 arrest of a man for displaying a Hong Kong flag. The resolution is transmitted to U.S. officials as a formal statement of New Jersey's position, but has no legal effect on Hong Kong or China.
