Overview
The Honor the Oath Act changes the location where newly elected state officials – the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and legislators – take their oath of office. Currently, these officials take the oath at the State House in Trenton. This bill mandates that they must instead take the oath in the county where the state’s seat of government is situated. This change aims to more closely align the officials’ oaths with the counties they represent and where their governing responsibilities are primarily carried out.
