Urges Governor to protect religious liberty during declared state of emergency.
SCR 107 is a non-binding resolution urging New Jersey's Governor to protect religious liberty during declared states of emergency. It references constitutional protections for religious exercise (both U.S. and New Jersey Constitutions) and notes that during the 2020 pandemic, churches faced stricter restrictions than "essential" secular businesses like grocery stores. The resolution highlights that courts in other states have ruled similar restrictions violated religious freedom, and it calls on the Governor to prioritize this right in future emergencies. As a concurrent resolution, it has no legal effect but formally requests the Governor's action.
