Requires intervention of at least two days between second reading and passage of State budget bill in either house of Legislature.
This bill requires a minimum two-day waiting period between the second and third readings of New Jersey's annual state budget bill in both the Senate and General Assembly. The provision ensures that budget legislation cannot be passed immediately after its second reading, giving legislators additional time to review the financial plan. A three-fourths majority vote in either house can waive this requirement if urgent action is deemed necessary. The law applies specifically to the appropriations act and takes effect immediately upon passage.
