Governor McGreevey signed the
landmark Domestic Partnership Act into law- making New Jersey one of only
five states in the entire country to enact such a law. The historic
legislation grants individuals, who have entered into an enduring,
committed relationship, basic rights such as visiting a loved one in the
hospital or the right to make critical health care decisions in emergency
situations. Sponsors included Senate President Richard J. Codey and
Assembly members Loretta Weinberg, Bonnie Watson Coleman, John McKeon,
Joseph Roberts and Anthony Impreveduto.
