Proposes constitutional amendment to provide for election of Attorney General.

ACR 77 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how New Jersey's Attorney General is selected, moving from gubernatorial appointment to direct election by voters. Currently appointed by the Governor with Senate confirmation, the Attorney General would be elected at the general election held during the first year of a Governor's term, serving a four-year term beginning January 3rd. To qualify, the Attorney General must be at least 30 years old, a U.S. citizen for 20+ years, a New Jersey resident for 7+ years, and a licensed attorney in the state. The amendment also specifies that the Attorney General's salary would be at least 80% of the Governor's salary and outlines procedures for filling vacancies. This constitutional change requires voter approval after legislative passage.
