AR 1 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Organizes General Assembly for Two Hundred and Twenty-Second Legislature and amends Assembly Rule 10:1.

This Assembly Resolution (AR 1) organizes New Jersey's General Assembly for the 222nd Legislature and updates committee rules. It names Craig J. Coughlin as Speaker, Annette Quijano as Speaker pro tempore, and Dana M. Burley as Clerk, while amending Assembly Rule 10:1 to adjust committee membership sizes (e.g., increasing Appropriations Committee members from 11 to 15). The resolution establishes procedural rules for staff management, meeting schedules, and bill drafting, directly affecting Assembly leadership and committee operations for the new session. As a procedural resolution, it does not create new policy but formalizes the Assembly's structure.
