Requires 14 days between introduction and consideration of annual appropriations act in General Assembly.
This bill (AR 21) sets a 14-day waiting period between when the state's annual budget bill is introduced and when it can be voted on during its final reading in the New Jersey General Assembly. It requires the Assembly Speaker to schedule at least four separate sessions (quorums) during that 14-day window to allow for discussion. The rule directly affects Assembly members and leadership by changing the procedural timeline for passing the state's annual budget, aiming to provide more time for review before final votes.
