Proposes temporary constitutional amendment allowing State constitutional convention convened to reform system of property taxation to propose statutory changes.
SCR 83 proposes a temporary amendment to the New Jersey Constitution that would allow a constitutional convention focused on property tax reform to propose changes to state laws (statutes), not just constitutional amendments. The convention would only be convened if voters approve it in a separate 2024 election, and its proposed statutory changes would be voted on by the public in 2025. Without this amendment, the convention could only suggest constitutional changes, but this would enable it to also propose necessary statutory changes to implement property tax reforms. The temporary amendment would expire three years after voter approval.
