Bill > SCR235

This Concurrent Resolution is a legislative action by the New Jersey State Legislature that aims to overturn a specific decision made by the Governor. The Governor had used a "line-item veto," which is the power to reject specific parts of a bill, in this case, a reduction to the funding allocated for Legal Services of New Jersey for the Fiscal Year 2012. Legal Services of New Jersey is an organization that provides free legal assistance to low-income individuals in civil matters, such as housing disputes or family law issues. By passing this Concurrent Resolution, the Legislature is asserting its intent to restore the original funding amount for this important legal aid service, overriding the Governor's veto.
