Establishes qualifications to be appointed as AG.
This New Jersey bill establishes new minimum qualifications for individuals appointed as Attorney General. It directly affects the state's executive branch by setting specific requirements for the head of the Department of Law and Public Safety. The key provisions require candidates to be at least 30 years old, U.S. citizens for 20 years, New Jersey residents for seven years, and licensed attorneys in good standing for 10 years with at least seven years of active practice or legal teaching in the state. These requirements apply to all future appointments and take effect immediately upon passage.
