This comes as some GOP lawmakers downplay the severity of the riot we all saw happen.

State lawmakers on Tuesday took the first step toward ending the public health emergency caused by COVID-19 last year, but Gov. Phil Murphy would still retain vast powers over face mask rules and gathering limits while protecting financially struggling renters and homeowners.
Although a bill introduced in the Assembly would nullify dozens of Murphy s executive orders in the pandemic, it would keep in place legal immunity for hospitals and long-term care facilities, keeping families locked out of the legal system in most cases of medical malpractice.
The bill also leaves a separate state of emergency and 15 of the governor s other orders in effect, including the ability to tighten restrictions should hospitalizations increase or the rate of transmission climb above 1. That rate was at 0.53 on Tuesday.
