This bill aims to standardize the terminology used to refer to members of the General Assembly in New Jersey by designating them as "Assembly Members" instead of using the gender-specific terms "Assemblyman" or "Assemblywoman." The proposed change is intended to promote inclusivity and eliminate gender bias in legislative language.

In addition to the primary change in terminology, the bill also amends existing legal language in various sections of New Jersey law to replace instances of "Assemblyman" with "Assembly Member." This includes updates to the composition of commissions and the appointment of legislative members, ensuring that the new term is consistently applied throughout the legal framework. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
