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 gender-specific terms such as "Assemblyman" or "Assemblywoman." The proposed change is reflected in the new legal language that will replace the existing terms in various sections of the law, ensuring that all members are addressed uniformly.

In addition to the primary change in terminology, the bill also amends several sections of existing 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 language is inclusive and gender-neutral. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
