ACR 83 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Proposes temporary constitutional amendment to provide for State constitutional convention to reduce government spending and to reform system of property taxation.

ACR 83 proposes a temporary constitutional amendment to hold a public vote on convening a New Jersey constitutional convention focused on reforming property taxation and reducing government spending. It would require two voter referendums: first to approve the convention itself, then to ratify its specific recommendations. The convention would be limited to creating revenue-neutral changes that make property taxes fairer (based on ability to pay), reduce reliance on property taxes for local funding, and adjust government spending priorities. This measure directly affects all New Jersey residents by potentially changing how local services are funded and tax burdens are structured.
