Supports the federal Emmett Till Antilynching Act.
This New Jersey Assembly resolution (AR 35) expresses support for the federal Emmett Till Antilynching Act, which became law in March 2022 making lynching a federal hate crime. It has no legal effect on state or federal law but formally urges continued legislative action to address racial violence, referencing the historical context of over 200 failed anti-lynching bills. The resolution directs copies to federal leaders, including the President, Congress, and New Jersey's congressional delegation. As a symbolic gesture, it does not directly affect any individuals or create new legal requirements.
