Requires publication online of Senate Journals, Assembly Minutes, and their indexes.
S 173 requires New Jersey's Senate Journals, Assembly Minutes, and their indexes to be published online by the Office of Legislative Services instead of printed as bound volumes for each legislative session. The bill mandates that these documents be made available on the Legislative Services website, though the Senate President or Assembly Speaker may still order up to 10 physical copies for the entire session if needed. This change directly affects the public, researchers, and government offices that access legislative records, shifting from physical distribution to digital access. The bill updates existing law to modernize how legislative proceedings are documented and shared.
