Condemns hate in all forms and especially all hate and bias crimes.
AJR 115 is a symbolic resolution (not a law) passed by New Jersey's legislature to formally condemn all hate, bias, and hate crimes. It specifically rejects hatred based on race, religion, ethnicity, disability, gender, sexual orientation, and other protected characteristics, urging the state to continue existing efforts to support victims and prevent such crimes. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but reaffirms New Jersey's commitment to combating hate through current initiatives like the Bias Crime Unit and victim support programs. It directly affects all New Jersey residents by expressing the state's official stance against hate crimes and promoting inclusivity.
