New Jersey ACR136 proposes a constitutional amendment to ensure every bill and joint resolution introduced in the Legislature is referred to a standing reference committee and heard at a public meeting during the two-year legislative term. Currently, there is no requirement for such hearings. If approved, this change would mandate committee review for all introduced bills and joint resolutions, ensuring transparency and public participation in the legislative process.
