TRENTON - New Jersey lawmakers on Thursday sent Gov. Phil Murphy a bill to end the public health emergency declared early in the COVID pandemic as a throng of protesters called for lawmakers to do more to limit the governor s powers. Kill the bill, those in the crowd chanted. Murphy is not our king, they shouted, at times loud enough to drown out senators debating the bill inside the Statehouse.
The bill, A5820/S3866, gives the governor power to continue 14 executive orders through Jan. 1, 2022. Dozens of other orders would end 30 days after the bill is signed into law by the governor, which is expected to happen Friday.
