Urges Governor to protect religious liberty during declared state of emergency.

This resolution urges the Governor of New Jersey to protect religious liberty during a declared state of emergency. It highlights that during the COVID-19 pandemic, churches and houses of worship were heavily restricted, while many secular businesses deemed "essential" operated with fewer limitations. The resolution argues that these restrictions potentially violated the unalienable rights protected by the Constitution of the United States and the New Jersey Constitution. It calls for the Governor to ensure religious liberty is safeguarded during emergencies.
