Summary

The resolution would change the state constitution so towns cannot use zoning to block housing for low‑ and moderate‑income residents. It also makes clear that municipalities are not required to construct or cause the construction of such housing, aiming to end lawsuits that force specific projects. The change would affect all New Jersey municipalities and the residents they serve.
