New Jersey A3898 allows religious corporations to hold remote meetings during a state of emergency declared by the Governor.

New Jersey A3898 authorizes religious corporations to conduct remote meetings during a state of emergency declared by the Governor. The bill requires that each remote participant is a member, has a reasonable opportunity to participate, and that a record of votes or actions taken is maintained. Members participating remotely are deemed present and entitled to vote. The bill also allows meetings to continue via remote communication even after the state of emergency ends, if notice was provided during the emergency. This change aims to provide flexibility and accessibility during crises.
