The proposed resolution seeks to amend the New Jersey Constitution by requiring each House of the Legislature to convene quarterly meetings dedicated exclusively to debating state issues and policies. This initiative aims to foster open dialogue and discussion among legislators, allowing them to pose questions and engage with one another on matters pertinent to the state's governance and operations. While the presiding officer of each House will set the meeting agenda, members will also have the opportunity to introduce additional relevant topics for discussion.
If the amendment is approved, it will be submitted to the public for a vote during the next general election, following the necessary publication requirements. The resolution emphasizes the importance of free and open debate within the Legislature, drawing inspiration from parliamentary systems to enhance legislative discourse and decision-making processes.
