The requirement to present vaccination proof or a negative test before entering the New Jersey Assembly chamber went into effect Thursday.
Several Republican members of the New Jersey Assembly who failed to show proof of vaccination against COVID-19 or a negative test were temporarily blocked from entering the chamber Thursday, the Associated Press reported.
The state troopers did not explain why they had allowed the lawmakers to enter the chamber without presenting proof of vaccination or negative test, according to the AP.
The display unfolded during the first voting session of the lame-duck period, the timeframe between November's election and the start of the new Legislature in January. It was also the first time lawmakers gathered to vote since the requirement that anyone entering the statehouse complex show a negative COVID-19 test or proof of vaccination was implemented.
