Introduced Text

New Jersey A1455 mandates that recall petition circulators must take an oath before a qualified officer.

New Jersey A1455 amends existing law to require circulators of recall petitions to take an oath by affidavit before an officer qualified to administer oaths. This change aims to prevent petition fraud by ensuring that each completed page of a recall petition includes an oath taken by the circulator. The oath must be signed by the officer who administered it and must include the circulator's name, address, the dates of signature collection, and a statement of the truth and correctness of the information. This act takes effect immediately.
