The resolution proposes a new rule for the New Jersey General Assembly, designated as Rule 15:30, which allows the Minority Leader to designate up to three bills or resolutions for a third reading vote, provided that each has at least 32 sponsors. This requirement represents 40 percent of the General Assembly, ensuring that significant minority-supported legislation can be brought to the floor for debate and a vote. The process requires a written notice from the Minority Leader and the first prime sponsor, which must be submitted to the Speaker and Clerk after the bill has been on first or second reading for at least 45 days. Once the notice is effective, the designated bill or resolution is released from committee and placed on the calendar for a vote, with specific provisions for public hearings and limitations on motions.

The intent of this resolution is to foster a competitive exchange of ideas within the legislative process, allowing minority voices to present policy alternatives that reflect the interests of a substantial portion of the Assembly. By establishing a structured mechanism for these bills and resolutions to be considered, the resolution aims to enhance democratic engagement and ensure that all elected representatives have the opportunity to contribute to the legislative discourse, regardless of their political alignment. The resolution takes effect immediately upon adoption.
