SCR 22 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Applies to Congress for Article V Convention of States to require balanced federal budget, impose term limits, and revise method of awarding electoral votes.

New Jersey's SCR 22 is a state legislative application requesting Congress to call an Article V Convention of States. It proposes three specific constitutional amendments: requiring a balanced federal budget, imposing term limits on members of Congress and Supreme Court justices, and changing how electoral votes are distributed (using Maine and Nebraska's Congressional District Method). If approved, these amendments would directly affect federal budget processes, congressional elections, Supreme Court appointments, and presidential election procedures. The resolution focuses on fiscal responsibility, increased accountability, and modernizing electoral representation without advocating for or against the changes.
