S 3855 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes process for submittal and publication of proposed revisions to Governor's budget recommendations and requires publication of proposals by June 1 annually.

This bill creates a formal process for submitting and publishing proposed changes to the Governor's annual budget recommendations in New Jersey. It allows state legislators and the State Treasurer to submit budget resolutions that add, remove, or modify budget items, requiring these proposals to be filed with the Senate and Assembly budget committees. All submissions must include detailed explanations of changes and a personal disclosure statement regarding any financial relationships between sponsors and funding recipients. The bill mandates that these budget resolutions be made available to the public on the Legislature's website by June 1 each year, with no submissions accepted after that date. The final annual appropriations bill will only include items from the Governor's original budget and the approved budget resolutions filed under this new process.
