Requires New Jersey Law Revision Commission to identify statutes containing racially discriminatory language.
This bill (A3296) requires the New Jersey Law Revision Commission (NJLRC) to specifically identify statutes containing racially discriminatory language as part of its ongoing review of state laws. The NJLRC, which already examines statutes for defects, anachronisms, and redundancies, must now add racial discrimination to its review criteria and propose amendments or repeals for affected laws. This change builds on the commission's existing statutory duty to simplify and modernize New Jersey's legal code to better serve current social needs and ensure equitable justice. The bill does not amend specific statutes but directs the commission to identify problematic language within the existing legal code.
