New Jersey SCR73 proposes a constitutional amendment to shift the determination of affordable housing needs from the courts to the Legislature.
New Jersey SCR73 proposes a constitutional amendment to change how affordable housing needs are determined. Currently, the courts decide the number of affordable housing units needed in the state. This resolution seeks to amend the state constitution so that only the Legislature can decide the amount of affordable housing units needed, how to fulfill this need, and the penalties for noncompliance. This change would prevent courts from requiring towns to build affordable housing.
