Requires adoption of joint resolution before Attorney General files amicus brief in any state or federal court in which State is not party.

New Jersey bill S 3847 requires the Attorney General to obtain legislative approval before filing an amicus brief in any state or federal court case where New Jersey is not a party. Specifically, it mandates that a joint resolution must be adopted by both the Senate and General Assembly and signed by the Governor prior to such filings. If the legislature rejects the resolution, the Governor may later grant written authorization for the brief after voting. The bill was introduced in response to Attorney General Matt Platkin’s recent amicus brief supporting a challenge to Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
