S 2133 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes legislative internship program; makes appropriation.

S 2133 establishes a formal legislative internship program in New Jersey, allowing state legislators to hire interns with up to $10,000 annually per member (subject to presiding officer approval). The program targets undergraduate and graduate students (excluding law and PhD candidates) from accredited schools, prioritizing New Jersey residents or students attending in-state institutions. Interns must complete a work period in a legislator's district office and receive a $1,000 stipend per period, paid bi-weekly or monthly. The bill appropriates $1.2 million from the state budget to fund this initiative.
