Bill Summary

This concurrent resolution proposes a temporary amendment to the New Jersey Constitution which would allow the property tax reform constitutional convention (to be convened pursuant to a separate ballot question) to propose revisions to the statutes which are within the scope of the convention's mandate. Without this amendment, the convention would only be able to submit proposed constitutional amendments for voter approval, but not proposed statutory changes that may be needed to help implement those amendments. This amendment would become part of the New Jersey Constitution upon approval by the voters and would expire one year after its approval by the voters. Statutory changes proposed by the convention will take effect upon voter approval if this temporary constitutional amendment authorizing the convention to propose such changes receives voter approval not later than the general election at which the proposal prepared by the convention is submitted to the voters.

AI Summary

This concurrent resolution proposes a temporary amendment to the New Jersey Constitution that would grant a specially convened State constitutional convention, focused on reforming property taxation, the authority to propose changes to existing laws (statutes) in addition to constitutional amendments. Currently, such a convention could only propose constitutional amendments. This amendment, if approved by voters, would allow the convention to also propose statutory revisions within its scope, which would then also require voter approval. This temporary measure would expire one year after voter approval.
