The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ) has issued a statement following the signing of the Freedom to Read Act, known as A3446/S2421. The statement was made by Sarah Fajardo, the Policy Director for ACLU-NJ.
“In enacting the Freedom to Read Act, New Jersey is living up to its values by protecting the fundamental rights to freely speak, think, read, and write – especially for those who are most vulnerable," said Fajardo. "We’re grateful to Governor Murphy, Senate Majority Leader Ruiz, and Senator Zwicker for their leadership and commitment to strengthening our democracy.”
The act aims to safeguard individuals' rights related to free expression and access to information in New Jersey.
