ACR 63 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Proposes temporary constitutional amendment to provide for State constitutional convention to reduce government spending and to reform system of property taxation.

ACR 63 proposes a temporary constitutional amendment to create a New Jersey constitutional convention focused specifically on reforming property taxation and reducing government spending. If approved by voters, the convention would convene in April following a special election in March to elect 80 delegates (two from each legislative district). The convention would be limited to developing proposals that eliminate inequities in property taxation, reduce local government reliance on property taxes, and revise spending priorities while maintaining revenue neutrality. All convention proposals would be submitted to voters at the next general election for approval or rejection as a single package, with voters unable to approve only part of the proposals. The temporary constitutional amendment would expire 30 days after the election where the convention's proposals are voted on.
