Bill Summary

AI Summary

This Resolution expresses the sense of the New Jersey Senate, meaning it conveys the Senate's opinion or feeling, that Justice Roberto Rivera-Soto should resign from his position on the New Jersey Supreme Court if the General Assembly, which is the state's legislature composed of the Senate and the General Assembly, does not proceed with impeachment. Impeachment is a formal process by which a legislative body brings charges against a government official, and if found guilty, that official can be removed from office. Therefore, the resolution is essentially a strong suggestion from the Senate to Justice Rivera-Soto to step down voluntarily rather than face a potential impeachment proceeding.
