NJ ACR179

Proposes a constitutional amendment requiring a two-thirds majority vote (27 Senate votes, 54 Assembly votes) to advance, read, or pass bills and joint resolutions during lame duck sessions, up from the current simple majority (21 Senate votes, 41 Assembly votes)

Defines lame duck session as beginning on the first day voters can cast ballots in the November general election for Assembly members and ending when the new Legislature convenes on the second Tuesday in January

Requires the same two-thirds supermajority to amend and reenact bills conditionally vetoed by the Governor during the lame duck period

Exempts the reconsideration of bills that the Governor has fully vetoed from the two-thirds requirement

If approved by the Legislature, the amendment would be placed on the next general election ballot occurring more than three months after final legislative agreement for voter approval
