AR 11 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires mandatory posting of legislation with 41 or more sponsors; provides for Special Order Speeches and public comment periods at committee meetings.

This bill changes New Jersey Assembly procedures for bills with 41 or more sponsors. It requires the Speaker to place such bills on the main calendar within two meetings of the Assembly after they reach 41 sponsors or second reading, whichever comes later. It also creates a process to move these bills to second reading if committees fail to act after three meetings, and prevents recommitting them without 41+ member approval. Additionally, the bill adds four annual sessions for members to give 15-minute speeches and two annual committee public comment periods (each lasting two hours, with five-minute public remarks per person). These changes apply only to Assembly procedures, not to substantive laws.
