"Over the angry jeers of hundreds of parents, the state Assembly Monday voted to eliminate religion as an acceptable reason for New Jersey children to avoid vaccines required for school attendance.

The state Senate was expected to vote on the controversial bill later in the day. If it passes both houses, it would go to Gov. Phil Murphy who would decide whether to sign it into law.

A crowd of more than 500 people converged outside the Statehouse hours before the vote, demanding lawmakers respect their constitutional rights. Chant of “Kill the Bill!" and “We Won’t Stop” could be heard down West State Street. After the 45-24 vote with seven abstentions, protesters in the gallery chanted, “We will not comply!”
