 NEW JERSEY STATE POLICEMEN'S BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION VS. PHILIP D. MURPHY, ETC. NEW JERSEY SUPERIOR OFFICERS LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION VS. PHILIP D. MURPHY, ETC. (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 283) (CONSOLIDATED) (A-1525-21/A-1548-21)

Appellants challenge the Governor's Executive Order 283, which imposes a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for, among others, the State's corrections officers. The court held that the Civilian Defense and Disaster Control Act, N.J.S.A. App. A:9-33 to -63, empowered the Governor to issue the order and that the order's vaccination mandate was rationally and adequately tailored to the problem posed.
