Requires Legislature to make bills and joint resolutions available to public on Legislature's website at least seven days before final vote.
ACR 54 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring New Jersey's Legislature to post bills and joint resolutions on its website for at least seven days before the final vote. This would replace the current one-day waiting period between the second reading and final vote with a seven-day requirement, applying to all bills except those designated as emergencies by a three-fourths vote in either legislative chamber. The amendment aims to increase public access to bill text prior to voting, ensuring more time for review. If approved by voters, it would become part of the New Jersey Constitution.
