Amends State Constitution to require four-fifths majority vote of Legislature to submit constitutional amendment to voters during lame duck season.
ACR 180 proposes amending New Jersey's Constitution to require a four-fifths majority vote (32 Senate seats and 64 Assembly seats) in both legislative chambers to submit constitutional amendments to voters during "lame duck" sessions. This would apply specifically to the period starting when voters can cast ballots in the November general election for the General Assembly and ending when the new Legislature convenes in January. Currently, constitutional amendments only require a three-fifths majority (24 Senate/48 Assembly) or a simple majority over two consecutive sessions. The bill does not change the process for submitting amendments outside of this specific lame duck window.
