SCR 27 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Amends Constitution to require each house of Legislature to convene four times annually solely to debate State issues and policies.

This proposed constitutional amendment would require New Jersey's Senate and General Assembly to hold four quarterly meetings each year, dedicated exclusively to debating state government issues, policies, and legislative operations. Members could raise unagenda topics during these sessions, though presiding officers would set the meeting agendas. The bill directly affects both legislative houses by mandating these structured debate sessions, with no other business permitted. It does not alter existing legislative powers or create new policies, only changing meeting requirements.
