Prohibits bill certified for fiscal note or estimate from being released from committee without fiscal note or estimate.
This New Jersey bill (S 1655) requires that any bill certified for a fiscal note or estimate cannot be released from a legislative committee until a complete fiscal note or estimate is provided. It directly affects bill sponsors and committees by mandating that fiscal analysis must be finalized before a bill moves forward. The key provision amends existing law to block committee release of such bills until the fiscal document is complete, ensuring lawmakers have budget impact data before proceeding. The bill does not change funding levels or create new programs - it only establishes a procedural requirement for fiscal transparency.
