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

SCR 19 is a non-binding resolution urging New Jersey's Governor to protect religious liberty during state emergencies. It specifically references pandemic-era restrictions where churches faced tighter limits on in-person services compared to "essential" secular businesses like grocery stores and pharmacies. The resolution cites First Amendment protections and Supreme Court rulings that found similar restrictions in other states unconstitutional. As a concurrent resolution, it does not change laws but formally requests the Governor prioritize religious freedom during future emergencies.
