ACR 88 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment to require voter approval of dedicated revenue source for certain bonded indebtedness for State transportation system.

ACR 88 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring New Jersey voters to approve any dedicated revenue source used to fund state transportation projects through borrowing. It applies specifically to debt for "planning, acquisition, engineering, construction, reconstruction, repair, or rehabilitation" of the state's transportation system. The bill mandates that before the state can borrow money for these projects, it must identify a specific revenue source (like a tax or fee) and secure voter approval for that funding method at a general election. This would prevent the state from using general funds or unapproved revenue streams for transportation bonds without direct voter consent.
