Bill > SCR98

This concurrent resolution reconstitutes the "Joint Committee on Economic Justice and Equal Employment Opportunity," a legislative body originally created in the 216th Legislature and previously renewed in subsequent legislative sessions. The committee will consist of 10 members from both legislative chambers, with appointments split between the Senate President (five members) and the General Assembly Speaker (five members), ensuring representation from both political parties. The committee is authorized to conduct ongoing studies about economic justice and equal employment opportunity throughout New Jersey, with the power to hold hearings across the state during legislative sessions or recesses. Members will serve without compensation, and the committee can establish its own operational rules, including electing chairs and selecting a secretary. The joint committee will have access to Legislative Services Commission staff and can employ additional support staff within budgetary limits. The committee is required to report its findings to the Legislature regularly and may issue additional reports as needed, with the goal of examining and addressing issues related to economic fairness and employment opportunities in the state.
