Bill > ACR82

This Concurrent Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to limit the effectiveness of certain emergency orders, rules, or regulations issued by the Governor of New Jersey to 14 days, unless the Legislature approves a longer period through a concurrent resolution. This means that without legislative approval, any emergency measures taken by the Governor would automatically expire after two weeks. The amendment includes several exceptions, such as orders rescinding previous ones, those required by federal law or necessary to receive federal funds, measures solely affecting the executive branch of state government, actions taken as Commander-in-Chief of the military, or orders issued under other laws that already specify a longer duration. The resolution outlines the process for this proposed amendment to be voted on by the public in a general election.
