Urges U.S. President and Congress to cease funding gain-of-function research.
New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 30 urges the U.S. President and Congress to stop federal funding for gain-of-function research, which modifies pathogens like viruses to study potential dangers. This resolution directly addresses federal agencies (such as the National Institutes of Health) and Congress, which control research funding. It does not change existing law but formally requests an end to financial support for this type of research, citing concerns about creating more transmissible or dangerous pathogens. The resolution is non-binding and serves as a symbolic call to action.
