A 4671 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides member of General Assembly be referred to as Assembly Member rather than Assemblyman or Assemblywoman.

This bill changes the official title for members of the New Jersey General Assembly from "Assemblyman" or "Assemblywoman" to the gender-neutral term "Assembly Member." It directly affects all current and future members of the Assembly by requiring that they be addressed as "Assembly Member [Last Name]" in all official contexts. The key provision amends multiple statutes (including those governing the Historical Commission, legislative appointments, and succession procedures) to replace gendered terms with "Assembly Member" throughout state law. The bill makes no substantive policy changes - it only updates language to promote inclusive terminology.
