SR 52 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Condemns police brutality and excessive use of force by law enforcement officers.

SR 52 is a New Jersey Senate resolution condemning police brutality and excessive force by law enforcement. It specifically highlights how such incidents disproportionately impact people of color (particularly Black individuals), Native Americans, Latinos, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and homeless people, citing cases like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Maurice Gordon. The resolution formally expresses the Senate's condemnation and directs copies to federal officials, New Jersey Congress members, and the state Attorney General. As a symbolic measure, it does not create new laws or enforceable requirements but aims to formally recognize and denounce these practices.
