Proposes constitutional amendment to prohibit person convicted of criminal offense, as defined by law, from holding elective public office.

SCR 75 proposes a constitutional amendment to prohibit anyone convicted of a criminal offense (as defined by law) from holding any elected public office in New Jersey. If approved by voters, it would add a new rule to the state constitution barring individuals with criminal convictions from serving in elected positions. The amendment requires voter approval at the next general election following its passage by the legislature. This change would directly affect candidates with criminal convictions seeking office in New Jersey.
