NJ Constitutional Convention

Governor McGreevey signed legislation in July, 2004 that moved New Jersey one step closer to conducting a constitutional convention to reform the state’s property tax system. The new law called for the establishment of a task force to issue recommendations regarding the process of conducting a constitutional convention and to identify issues the convention should consider. The task force must complete its study and issue a report by no later than Dec. 31, 2004. The call for a constitutional convention must be approved by voters in 2005 to enable a convention to meet in 2006.
