New Jersey SCR63 proposes amending the state constitution to require a three-fifths majority vote for tax bills.
New Jersey SCR63 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to change the voting requirement for bills or joint resolutions that levy a new state tax or increase an existing state tax. Currently, these bills require a simple majority vote to pass. The proposed amendment would require a three-fifths majority vote in both houses of the Legislature for such bills to pass. This change aims to ensure that tax legislation requires a broader consensus before being enacted.
