Proposes constitutional amendment to require two-thirds majority vote by Legislature for bills proposing a new or increased State tax, fee, surcharge or civil penalty.

ACR 35 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds majority vote in both the New Jersey Senate and General Assembly to pass any bill or joint resolution that creates or increases state taxes, fees, surcharges, or civil penalties. Currently, such tax-related measures only need a simple majority vote to pass. If approved by voters, this change would require a supermajority for all tax-related legislation, replacing the current simple majority standard. The amendment must be submitted to voters in the next general election following legislative approval.
