Proposes constitutional amendment to provide that only Legislature may determine affordable housing obligations.

ACR 28 proposes a constitutional amendment to shift authority over affordable housing requirements from courts to the New Jersey Legislature. Currently, courts determine the number of affordable housing units needed in municipalities and set penalties for noncompliance, following New Jersey Supreme Court rulings. The amendment would change the state constitution to state that only the Legislature can decide housing needs, fulfillment methods, and consequences for failing to meet obligations. This would end judicial oversight of affordable housing mandates, which courts have managed since the Council on Affordable Housing dissolved. The change requires voter approval after legislative passage.
