To My Committee Members; When mass demonstrations had emerged during the beginning of this past summer, I had recently begun my tenure as chair of this Committee. During this time, I witnessed an incredible movement blossom in the wake of injustice — a movement which is fighting for true justice before the law and in society — and a movement that I hoped to assist in whichever way I could. When the Legislative Affairs Committee began the writing of this report, I was heartened to see interest and passion from people within and outside of the Assembly — people who truly care about working together to build a better world. I am so grateful to have worked alongside my amazing Vice Chair Malachi Sutton on much of the logistics in regards to writing this report, and I am so appreciative to have had the opportunity to work with the amazing members of my committee. Your passion and drive to do good in this world amazes me, and the amount of time that you all had put into completing this report despite a really rough semester, and despite the fact that you weren’t paid to do any of this, is something that I will forever be thankful for. I very much look forward to what we will accomplish as a committee; I truly believe that together, we will be able to truly fight for a better world for all of us.

Executive Summary Upon analysis of the historical and political context behind the various topics explored in this report, along with understanding proposed and implemented policies in the state of New Jersey, the Legislative Affairs Committee has determined a set of policy recommendations to be pursued in the state government with the goal of tearing down oppressive systems and building a more equitable, humane, and empathetic system of justice. This Committee recommends: 1. Pursuing legislation which would implement a public state registry of police officers who have committed serious disciplinary violations. The registry: a. would identify officers who commit serious disciplinary violations, similar to the program implemented by New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal. b. would highlight officers who have committed violations that have been determined to be disqualifying from re-entrance into law enforcement. c. should be mandated as a resource for police departments to utilize when considering the employment of a former police officer. 2. Endorsing A4272, which mandates the creation of civilian oversight boards in every municipality. 3. Pursuing legislation that would grant civilian oversight boards expanded investigatory and disciplinary powers, including: a. oversight abilities, b. subpoena powers, c. access to internal files from law enforcement agencies that they preside over, d. the authority to recommend disciplinary measures in the event that it is determined that the officer had committed an alleged offense. 4. Endorsing A4578, which places restrictions on the qualified immunity doctrine. 5. Pursuing the introduction and passage of legislation that would direct that the following disqualifies someone from employment as a police officer in New Jersey: a. affiliation with known white supremacist groups and/or far-right militant organizations (i.e. the Proud Boys, the boogaloo movement, Neo-Nazis, Identitarians, the NJEHA) b. and/or publicly expressing and sharing white supremacist viewpoints (i.e. anti-blackness, islamophobia, scientific racism, eugenics, antisemetic conspiracy theories) 6. Pursuing legislation in the New Jersey State Government to ban the consideration of arrest and citation rates in relation to an officer’s employment except for circumstances wherein: a. arrests and citations are excessive, and/or can be shown to have a significant bias on the basis of race, ethnicity, religious belief, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics. 7. Pursuing legislation in the New Jersey State Government with the goal of providing greater 1 oversight over the operation of the 1033 program within the state. 8. Endorsing A4286, which would entirely prohibit the issuance of no-knock warrants. 9. Pursuing legislation in the New Jersey State Government to ban the use of facial recognition technology in policing. 10. Pursuing legislative action towards the decriminalization of all drugs. 11. Pursuing legislation to expand rehabilitative programs in regards to drug use along with advocating for the transferral of funds that would otherwise have been used for enforcement of drug laws towards: a. psychiatrists, b. social workers, c. programs focused on rehabilitation. 12. Encouraging the swift implementation of S2535, a bill that seeks to decriminalize the possession of up to six ounces of marijuana or 170 grams of hashish, along with expunging records of past offenders. 13. Pursuing legislative action towards uplifting individuals and communities that have been most harmed by the criminalization of marijuana, through one of these methods: a. amendments to S21, which sets out general regulations regarding the sale and use of recreational marijuana and establishes the Cannabis Regulatory Commission. b. legislation with the goal of uplifting individuals and communities that have been most harmed by the criminalization of marijuana. 14. Endorsing A5084, a bill which is intended to redirect the potential reduction of sentences for possession of psilocybin mushrooms. 15. Pursuing the implementation of SCR138, a proposed constitutional amendment that would “dedicate the majority cannabis tax revenue — using all of the funds collected from the Social Equity Excise Fee as well as 70% of those garnered from the state sales tax — to affected minority communities.”1 ​ 16. Endorsing A816, which disallows public entities from entering into contracts with for-profit, private correctional facilities. 17. Pursuing the complete abolition of private prisons in New Jersey. 18. Endorsing SCR96, a resolution that would add a public question about amending the New Jersey Constitution to prohibit slavery and involuntary services in all cases, including as punishment for a crime. 19. Pursuing the passage of a resolution similar to that of SR79, which seeked to urge congress “to propose an amendment to the United States Constitution to prohibit the use of slavery or indentured servitude for individuals convicted of crime.”2 ​ 20. Advocating for the decriminalization of victimless crimes. 1 Hoover, Amanda. “N.J. Voters Could Be Asked to Rule on Weed Again next Year - This Time on How Taxes Are Spent.” Nj.com, NJ Advance Media, 2 Dec. 2020, ​ ​ www.nj.com/marijuana/2020/12/nj-voters-could-be-asked-to-rule-on-weed-again-next-year-this-time-on-how-taxes- are-spent.html. 2 SR79 (2018) 2 a. Decriminalization of the usage of all drugs b. Decriminalization of all forms of consentual sex work. 21. Endorsing of A4369 and A4370, bills which concern lessening or eliminating mandatory minimums for nonviolent property and drug-related crimes. 22. Supporting legislation and executive action that would seek to free inmates who are determined not to be an immediate danger to society. 23. Seeking legislation which provides the necessary resources for former inmates to transition into the larger society. 24. Endorsing A1254, which would establish the possibility of geriatric parole for those who are 65 years of age and older and have served at least one third of their sentence, or those who are 60 years of age and older who have served as least half of their sentence. 25. Endorsing A4372, that would allow for those who had been tried for crimes as juveniles to petition to be resentenced. 26. Pursuing legislation and executive action with the intent of improving conditions for those within and/or formerly within the justice system. 27. Endorsing S415, which would offer post-release services that are offered for defendants on parole to defendants who had served the maximum term of incarceration. 28. Pursuing legislation similar to that of A4389, which would have worked towards making video and in-person visitation more accessible for prisoners. a. Ultimate goal should be towards making such services as video visitation free and more accessible for inmates. 29. Pursuing legislative action towards allowing inmates to vote by mail in the municipality in which they reside outside of prison. a. The Committee views the most likely path towards achieving this as being through the implementation of a public question on the matter, and wishes to pursue such action upon approval by the Assembly. 30. Working towards the creation of a Department of Prisoner Civil Rights and Civil Liberties on the statewide level, a department which would be tasked with ensuring that inmates within New Jersey receive a basic standard of living within the prison system, and that their civil rights are defended. 3 II.

Our scorecard rates each member of the New Jersey Senate and Assembly on their conservation record and actions taken to protect the environment in the Garden State. It does this by tracking how New Jersey’s 40 senators and 80 Assembly members voted on key legislation affecting air and water quality, open space, and the fight against climate change. As “the political voice for the environment,” New Jersey LCV uses its resources to elect environmental champions and support them in office while helping to defeat candidates and officeholders whose legislative priorities do not include air, water, and land protections. We empower legislators by providing background information before key environmental votes, and we hold legislators accountable for their positions and actions related to our environment.

  • Legislative Report Card 218Th Nj Legislature 2018-2019 Dear Friends
    LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 218TH NJ LEGISLATURE 2018-2019 DEAR FRIENDS, I am pleased to share this report card for the 2018-2019 New Jersey state legislature. Here is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to the right to life, education, family, marijuana, marriage, and other issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious liberty flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, this report card focuses on seven bills in the New Jersey Assembly and Senate during the 2018-2019 Legislative Session. All of those bills are included in this report card. A bill is passed by a simple majority in the Senate (21 votes out of 40 senators) and the Assembly (41 votes out of 80 Assembly members.) Lawmakers earned letter grades ranging from A–F based on how they voted on all the bills. This report card is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. One of the most common questions people ask is, “How did my legislator vote?” This report card should help you answer that question. Sincerely, Shawn Hyland Director of Advocacy CONTENTS Introduction Letter 2 Vote Descriptions 4 About the Report Card 3 Legislator Votes 5-7 - 2 - ABOUT THE REPORT CARD Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey selected votes on key legislation in the New Jersey Assembly and New Jersey Senate based on our core belief in promoting, protecting, and strengthening traditional family values.

  • Biden-Harris Administration Visits New Jersey to Highlight Mobile Medication-Assisted Treatment
    Biden-Harris Administration Visits New Jersey to Highlight Mobile Medication-Assisted Treatment Acting Commissioner Sarah Adelman joined Regina LaBelle, Acting Director of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), and Tom Coderre, Acting Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), to tour the mobile methadone bus operated jointly by Human Services, the Atlantic County Jail and the John Brooks Recovery Center. They also participated in a roundtable at John Brooks Recovery Center with providers and partners, as well as graduates of the treatment program. The June 28 visit highlighted a new Drug Enforcement Administration rule, effective July 28, to streamline registration requirements for opioid treatment programs that want to include a mobile component. “We’re very excited by the DEA’s announcement because here in New Jersey we know this works,” Acting Commissioner Adelman said. “The mobile medication-assisted treatment van run jointly by New Jersey Human Services, Atlantic County and the John Brooks Recovery Center serves individuals both during and after incarceration, saving lives and leading to decreased recidivism. Medication-assisted treatment works, and treatment is often most effective when it is brought directly to the people who need it. With this new rule removing a critical barrier to treatment for individuals with substance use disorder, we look forward to seeing mobile treatment programs expand across New Jersey and the country.” Read more Governor Murphy Signs Legislative Package to Address New Jersey’s Opioid Epidemic Reaffirming his commitment to end New Jersey’s opioid epidemic, Governor Phil Murphy recently signed a comprehensive legislative package into law to address the state’s opioid crisis through overdose prevention and recovery resilience.
