Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 52:13-9
- Concurrent resolution: A legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the President/Governor and thus do not have the force of law.
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Joint session: When both chambers of a legislature adopt a concurrent resolution to meet together.
After the joint session shall have heard the evidence and such arguments as may be made, the senate and the general assembly shall separately convene and shall separately consider and determine the alleged contempt; and the determination shall be by a concurrent resolution, which may originate in either house.
