A 4577 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires intervention of at least two days between second reading and passage of State budget bill in either house of Legislature.

This bill requires that the New Jersey State budget bill wait at least two full calendar days between its second and third reading in either legislative house before it can be passed. The measure directly affects the state legislature by adding a mandatory waiting period to the budget approval process, ensuring more time for deliberation. While the requirement can be waived with a three-fourths majority vote in either house, the default rule mandates the two-day interval. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
