Urges U.S. President and Congress to cease funding gain-of-function research.

New Jersey's Assembly Resolution 29 (AR 29) urges the U.S. President and Congress to stop federal funding for gain-of-function research involving pathogens. This type of research alters pathogens' genetic makeup to study traits like increased transmissibility or virulence. The resolution does not ban the research but requests the federal government cease financial support, citing concerns about accidental releases or weaponization risks. As a non-binding resolution, it directs copies to the President, Vice President, and all Congress members for their consideration.
