Supplements General Assembly Rules to require members of General Assembly to be addressed as State Representative.
This Assembly Resolution (AR 149) amends the New Jersey General Assembly Rules to require all members to be formally addressed as "State Representative" instead of "Assemblyman" or "Assemblywoman." It adds Rule 25:1 stating: "All members of the General Assembly shall be addressed, and referred to, as State Representative." The resolution aims to adopt a gender-neutral title, aligning with the state constitution's use of "members" and the practice of 45 other states. This change affects all current and future General Assembly members in formal communications and records.
