ACR 52 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment to eliminate judicial review of arbitration rulings in disputes between Judiciary and county concerning court facilities.

ACR 52 proposes a constitutional amendment to make arbitration decisions final in disputes between New Jersey's Judiciary and counties over court facility costs. Currently, the Supreme Court can review and change arbitration rulings if they don't fairly balance county and Judiciary interests; this amendment would eliminate that judicial review. The bill directly affects counties and the Judiciary when disagreements arise about courthouse construction, renovation, or budgeting expenses. If approved by voters, it would require the Supreme Court to accept arbitration outcomes without the ability to modify them.
