Proposes constitutional amendment to require two-thirds majority vote by Legislature for bills proposing a new or increased State tax, fee, surcharge or civil penalty.

ACR 84 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds majority vote in both New Jersey legislative chambers to pass bills that create new taxes or increase existing taxes, fees, surcharges, or civil penalties. Currently, such bills only need a simple majority (more than 50%) to pass. This change would directly affect the legislative process for tax-related bills, requiring broader consensus before they can become law. The amendment, if approved by voters, would apply to all tax-related bills introduced after its adoption.
