A plan proposed by the New Jersey government which requires full COVID-19 vaccination or a test for lawmakers, staff, and the public to enter the state capitol complex will limit public access to legislature, according to Republican lawmakers.

A New Jersey government commission—comprising four legislative staff and four staff from the governor’s office—introduced a resolution requiring all persons who attend all gatherings and meetings in state capital buildings to show either proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 or the negative result of a COVID-19 PCR test performed within the last 72 hours.
