Introduced Text

New Jersey S3950 mandates a two-day interval between the second and third reading of the State budget bill in either house of the Legislature.

New Jersey S3950 establishes a mandatory two-day waiting period between the second and third reading of the annual appropriations act, commonly referred to as the State budget bill, in either house of the Legislature. This bill ensures that the budget bill must remain on second reading for at least one additional calendar day before proceeding to third reading and final passage. However, this requirement can be waived if a three-fourths majority vote of all members of either house of the Legislature deems it necessary.
