Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 52:14B-4.3

  • 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.
  • Presiding officer: A majority-party Senator who presides over the Senate and is charged with maintaining order and decorum, recognizing Members to speak, and interpreting the Senate's rules, practices and precedents.
3. If, pursuant to Article V, section 4, paragraph 6 of the New Jersey Constitution, the Senate and General Assembly adopt a concurrent resolution invalidating a rule or regulation, in whole or in part, or prohibiting a proposed rule or regulation, in whole or in part, from taking effect, the presiding officer of the House of final adoption shall cause the concurrent resolution to be transmitted to the Office of Administrative Law for publication in the New Jersey Register and the New Jersey Administrative Code as an annotation to the rule or regulation.
