State lawmakers in Trenton will go to work under looser COVID-19 safety policies starting on Friday. A policy that required all people entering the State House to show proof of vaccination or a negative test has been dropped.
Republican lawmakers lost a court challenge to the vaccination mandate and had threatened more legal action. After a meeting last week, the State Capitol Joint Management Commission announced the lifting of the vaccination requirement. A mask requirement remains in effect, something with which Republican lawmakers disagree.
