New Jersey lawmakers have returned to Trenton following the legislative general election in November 2023. This period is often a time of turbulence in the legislative assembly, as it is common for bills to be expedited through committees and hearings. Known as the lame-duck session, this approximately two-month stretch often witnesses legislative incumbents and newly elected officials scrambling to mark their impact before they are officially sworn in come January. This makes the time ripe with potential for key legislations to pass.
Law360 reports on these developments and provides detailed analyses on the dynamics of this potentially transformative period in New Jersey’s legislative calendar.
