Proposes constitutional amendment to provide for election of Attorney General.

SCR 59 proposes a constitutional amendment to make the New Jersey Attorney General an elected position instead of an appointed one. The bill would require voters to elect the Attorney General at the general election held during the first year of the Governor's term, with a four-year term limit and restrictions preventing two consecutive terms. Qualifications include being at least 30 years old, a U.S. citizen for 20 years, and a New Jersey resident for seven years prior to election. This amendment must be approved by voters after passing through the legislature, as it would amend Article VII of the state constitution.
