The New Jersey State Bar Association supports A-4939 (McKeon) which establishes the fundamental right of an individual marry or enter into a civil union with a person of any race.
The Association supports this proposed legislation because it declares that the right of a person to marry or enter into a civil union with a person of any race is fundamental in New Jersey. This is an important measure that will ultimately ensure the protection of interracial marriage and civil unions by New Jersey statutory law.
For the reasons set forth above, the New Jersey State Bar Association supports A-4939 and urges you to vote yes to this proposed legislation.
