A strong committee system is one of the hallmarks
of the New Jersey Senate. When a bill is introduced in either the Senate
or the Assembly, it is sent to a committee for study and to receive
public comment. The committee makes an initial determination if the
proposal should go forward in the legislature. If it votes to do so,
the committee can suggest amendments to the bill, approve it for further
action by the full Senate, Assembly, or disapprove it.
If you are interested in a particular bill to be heard by one of Senator
Vitale's committees, and would like to testify, you should notify our
office so that we can assist you in scheduling your testimony.
