Bill overview
This bill requires that the New Jersey Attorney General obtain approval from the State Legislature and the Governor before filing an amicus brief in any state or federal court where New Jersey is not already a party. The goal is to ensure that legal positions reflected in these briefs align with the priorities of the state’s elected officials and promote transparency and accountability in legal proceedings. This measure responds to concerns about the Attorney General’s recent filings without legislative oversight.
