ASSEMBLY COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
                COMMITTEE

                          STATEMENT TO

                     ASSEMBLY, No. 4244

       STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                         DATED: DECEMBER 14, 2020

          The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development Committee
      reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 4244.
          This bill allows members of religious corporations to hold, either
      solely or in part, meetings by means of remote communication during
      a state of emergency.
          Pursuant to current law, meetings of members are required to be
      held at a physical location, with no provision for members to
      participate by alternative means during a state of emergency. Under
      this bill, remote communication of meetings will be permitted if a state
      of emergency is declared by the Governor. During the state of
      emergency, a meeting of members may be held by means of remote
      communication to the extent that the board of trustees authorize and
      adopt guidelines and procedures governing such a meeting.
          The bill will also provide that members are deemed present if
      participating in a meeting by means of remote communication,
      regardless of whether the meeting is held solely, or in part, by means
      of remote communication.
          In times of crisis, remote meetings can offer broader accessibility
      to members and increase member participation. It also provides
      religious corporations with the flexibility that they may need to
      respond to any challenges that may occur because of a state of
      emergency declaration.
