Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation they say would ban the use of COVID-19 vaccine passports in New Jersey, which they argue might lead to discrimination based on a person’s vaccination status.

“We’re extremely concerned by Governor [Phil] Murphy’s willingness to consider the use of vaccine passports that could prevent people from working, going to school, or visiting public places,” state Sen. Jim Holzapfel, R-Ocean, said in a statement.
