NJ A4780

Requires the New Jersey Attorney General to obtain a joint resolution passed by both the Senate and General Assembly and signed by the Governor before filing any amicus brief in state or federal court cases where New Jersey is not a party.

Allows the Governor to grant written authorization for an amicus brief filing if either legislative house votes against the joint resolution, provided authorization occurs after the Legislature's vote.

Responds specifically to Attorney General Matt Platkin joining 19 other states in an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to block Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth.

Asserts that New Jersey's appointed Attorney General, unlike the 43 states with elected Attorneys General, should not take policy positions through amicus filings without approval from elected officials.

Takes effect immediately upon enactment.
