ABSTRACT:
6 pages in length. New Jersey's black Democratic Senator Wayne Bryant was instrumental in implementing the family cap legislation that removed a woman's ability to receive welfare benefits for her illegitimate children. It has been called groundbreaking in the way in which it attacked what lawmakers labeled a significant source of poverty within the eastern state. According to Bryant, the primary focus of the reform was to reestablish family values. The writer discusses the welfare reform law as it relates to New Jersey. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
