Memorializes Congress to propose constitutional amendment prohibiting the physical desecration of American flag.
This New Jersey Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 69) asks Congress to propose a constitutional amendment allowing federal and state governments to ban physical desecration of the American flag. It does not create new law but formally requests Congress take this action, citing the flag's symbolic importance and referencing previous congressional attempts to address flag desecration. The resolution specifically seeks to authorize laws prohibiting acts like burning or defacing the flag, which the bill argues have been wrongly protected under free speech interpretations. As a procedural resolution, it has no legal effect but serves as a formal request to Congress.
