AR 76 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain bills and resolutions with at least 32 sponsors to be voted on third reading upon notice.

This bill (AR 76) would require New Jersey's General Assembly to schedule for final vote (third reading) any bill or resolution with at least 32 sponsors (40% of the Assembly) upon written notice from the Minority Leader and the bill's first sponsor. It creates a new rule allowing the Minority Leader to designate up to three such bills for immediate consideration, triggering automatic release from committee and a mandatory public hearing within 30 days. The bill must then be scheduled for a vote at the next Assembly meeting more than five days after the hearing. This procedural change directly affects Assembly members with 32+ sponsors and minority leadership, ensuring significant bipartisan-supported bills receive a final vote without committee delays.
