In a move that was watched closely around the country, the New Jersey Legislature approved the formation of civil unions for same sex couples in response to the state Supreme Court's directive delivered in the Lewis v. Harris decison. The Legislation is now awaiting the signature of Governor Corzine who in the past has expressed his intention to sign the civil union bill.
