AR 143 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires bills and resolutions to have easily readable title, text, synopsis, and statement.

This Assembly Resolution (AR 143) requires New Jersey Assembly bills and resolutions to include clearly formatted elements: a readable title, text, synopsis, and sponsor's statement (limited to 450 words). It amends Assembly rules to mandate that sponsors attach a summary statement explaining the bill's content and affected parties, to be printed on the front of the document. The resolution also directs the Speaker, with input from the Office of Legislative Services, to develop standardized formatting to make these elements easily distinguishable. The goal is to improve accessibility and transparency of legislative documents for the public, including individuals with disabilities.
