This concurrent resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to elect a non-partisan Taxpayer Advocate. The Taxpayer Advocate would be elected by popular vote at gubernatorial elections for four year terms. The mission of the Taxpayer Advocate would be to empower taxpaying residents of the State by providing advocacy and information with the goal of minimizing the tax burden on State residents. The Taxpayer Advocate would take steps deemed necessary or advisable to protect and advance the interests of taxpaying residents of the State and inform taxpayers of matters that may be of interest to them. The Taxpayer Advocate would be required to analyze proposed laws and regulations that may increase the tax burden of residents of the State. The Taxpayer Advocate would then make a recommendation and advocate to the relevant authority on behalf of taxpaying residents of the State. Through this position, New Jersey taxpayers would have an advocate to represent their interests before the Legislature and Executive agencies.
