This resolution formally organizes the New Jersey General Assembly for its Two Hundred and Twenty-Second Legislature, establishing key leadership positions including Speaker Craig J. Coughlin, Speaker pro tempore Annette Quijano, and Clerk Dana M. Burley, and directing the Clerk to inform the Senate and the Governor of this organization.

Furthermore, it allows each Assembly member to retain up to six aides, with the Speaker having discretion for more, and importantly, it adopts the rules from the previous legislative session with a significant amendment to Assembly Rule 10:1, which governs the establishment and membership of various Standing Reference, Administrative, and Joint Committees, detailing changes to the names and sizes of several committees.
