New Jersey State Legislature

The New Jersey State Legislature is the state's lawmaking body, consisting of two chambers: the General Assembly and the Senate. The General Assembly has 80 members, while the Senate has 40. They work together to create, amend, and pass laws that affect residents, govern state policies, and oversee the state budget. Legislators are elected by New Jersey residents to represent their interests. The legislature also checks the executive branch (the governor) and votes on important issues like education, transportation, and public safety, ensuring that state laws reflect the needs and preferences of its citizens.
