Amends State Constitution to prohibit State appropriations to non-State agencies unless based upon competitive criteria or statutory process.

This bill proposes amending the New Jersey State Constitution to restrict how state money can be given to non-state organizations. It would require that any discretionary funding to entities like counties, municipalities, private universities, or non-profits be distributed through a competitive process, merit-based criteria, or a clear formula established by law. The amendment also prohibits laws from naming specific non-state agencies as direct recipients of funds, ensuring money is allocated fairly rather than to pre-selected organizations. State agencies, including departments and public universities, would remain exempt from these restrictions. If approved by voters, this change would apply to all future state appropriations to non-governmental entities.
