POLITICAL PARTIES

New Jersey statutes (Title 19) recognizes political parties thatreceive at least ten percent of the total vote cast for members

of the General Assembly in the last election (odd-numberedyears). Currently only the Republican and Democratic partiesmeet this threshold. These parties use a primary election systemto select nominees for the November General Election and to electmembers to the party committees.

Other political parties, often called third parties, are recognizedby the New Jersey Courts as common law political parties. Theseparties must 1) incorporate, 2) have party officers, 3) have bylaws,4) have a distinct political philosophy and 5) nominate candidateson a regular basis for the November General Elections. Theseparties select officers, party committee members and nominateparty candidates to run for office according to each party’s bylaws.Citizens can register as members of common law parties anddonate to them in accordance with current campaign financelimits.

The ability of states to regulate the organization and internalaffairs of political parties was declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1989.

The Republican and Democratic parties have state and nationaloffices.

SAMPLE LETTER

Dear Senator ____________:

Re: Jobs from Housing and Economic

Development Bond Act

A1442/1443, S202/203

I am concerned about affordable housing for all New

Jersey citizens and believe that government at all levels

should make sufficient funds available for housing

assistance programs. As your constituent, I urge you

to support the Jobs from Housing and Economic

Development Bond Act as a means of meeting a

portion of the need.

While providing housing for more than 30,000 New

Jerseyans, the $290 million dollar bond issue will

create many new construction, retail and

manufacturing jobs throughout the state. It will

generate tax revenue for state and local governments.

I hope that I can count on you as my senator to

support this important legislation. If you wish to speak

with me, I can be reached at (phone number). Thank

you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

Each of the three branches of the federal government — theexecutive, the legislative and the judicial — has powers granted

to it by the Constitution which empower each to impose checks andbalances on the others.

Executive Branch The executive branch of the United Statesgovernment includes the president and vice president, the executiveoffice of the president, the executive departments and various agencies, commissions and corporations. The President of theUnited States is the nation’s chief executive. The president enforces federal laws and appoints high federal officials and United States diplomats who serve at the president’s pleasure. Thepresident commands the armed forces and conducts foreign affairs. The president may recommend legislation to the Congress, signs into law or vetoes legislation passed by both houses of the Congress and may call Congress into special session.

The Vice President of the United States becomes president if thepresident dies, resigns or is removed from office and becomes actingpresident if the president is unable to perform the duties of the office.The only official duty the Constitution grants the vice president is thatof presiding officer of the Senate where he/she casts tie-breaking votes.

The Executive Office of the President consists of a group of federal agencies that immediately serve the president by aiding in developing and implementing the programs and policies of thepresident. Executive offices can be established by the president or by Congress. However, the tenure and durability of each executiveoffice is dependent on its usefulness to the president. Therefore,executive offices are subject to change. For a complete list of currentexecutive offices visit www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/.

The executive departments are the administrative arm of thenational government. These 15 departments are Agriculture,Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services,Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Justice,Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs. Thedepartment heads (secretaries), appointed by the president andconfirmed by the Senate, become the Cabinet and serve at the pleasureof the president. The president may grant other officials cabinet status.

ER

Legislative Branch The two houses of Congress, the Senate andthe House of Representatives, meet in separate chambers in theCapitol in Washington, DC. There are 100 members of the Senate, twofrom each state. The House of Representatives consists of 435 seatswith each state’s portion determined by the federal census every tenyears. Representatives serve terms of two years, all 435 membersbeing elected in even numbered years. Senators’ terms are six yearswith one third being elected every even numbered year.

Congress writes federal laws and has the power to investigatematters of public concern and monitor federal agencies and programs.It declares war, regulates interstate and foreign commerce, setsfederal taxes, and coins money. Only the House can initiate taxlegislation and bring a charge of impeachment. The Senate mustapprove federal appointments and treaties and sits as a court ofimpeachment.

Each body elects its own leadership — majority and minorityleaders, party whips and conference chairs. Although the vicepresident is the president of the Senate, the Senate majority leader isthe most powerful member of the Senate. In the House ofRepresentatives, the speaker is the most powerful individual and issecond in line to become president. The work of the Senate and Houseis conducted in committees or subcommittees. Both the Senate andHouse of Representatives depend on a large support staff forcommittee and individual office operations.

Judicial Branch The judicial branch of the federal governmentconsists of the Supreme Court, Federal Courts of Appeals, FederalDistrict Courts and several specialized courts (United States ClaimsCourt, Court of International Trade and Tax Court of the UnitedStates). Federal courts handle both criminal and civil cases involvingthe Constitution or federal laws, cases in which the United Statesgovernment is one of the parties, cases between individuals or groupsfrom different states, and cases involving other countries or theircitizens. District courts are the federal courts of original jurisdiction.Courts of Appeals try federal cases on appeal from district courts andreview decisions made by some federal agencies.

The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in thenation. It has original jurisdiction in cases affecting ministers of foreignstates and in cases in which a state is a party. It has appellatejurisdiction — authority to review the decisions of lower federal courts— when a law of the United States has been held invalid by a statecourt or when one of the parties claims denial of a right under thefederal Constitution.

NEW JERSEY STATE GOVERNMENT

The New Jersey Constitution was ratified on November 4, 1947 and became effective on January 1, 1948. This replaced the

Constitution of 1844, which had replaced the original Constitution of 1776.

Each of the three branches of the state government — theexecutive, the legislative and the judicial — has powers granted to itby the New Jersey Constitution which allow each to impose checksand balances on the other two. Trenton has been New Jersey’s capitalsince 1790. The statehouse and the statehouse annex, located onWest State Street, house the legislature, the governor’s office andsome executive offices. Other government offices are nearby.

Executive Branch The executive branch is composed of thegovernor, the governor’s staff, the 15 executive departments andmany authorities, boards and commissions. The governor as chiefexecutive is responsible for faithfully executing state laws andappoints, with the advice and consent of the Senate, executivedepartment heads, judgeships (including the State Supreme Court),county prosecutors, county boards of election and taxation, andmany policy-making and advisory boards and commissions. Thegovernor has the power of dismissal of most appointees. Thegovernor may recommend legislation to the legislature, may call thelegislature into special session, signs into law legislative actionpassed by both houses and has veto powers (absolute veto,conditional veto and line item veto on appropriation bills). Thegovernor may grant pardons and may suspend and remit fines andforfeitures. The governor is the commander-in-chief of the militiaand the only person with the authority to call up the National Guard.

A vacancy in the office of the governor results in succession by thelieutenant governor, with the president of the New Jersey Senate nextin line.

The governor sets the overall policy and priorities for theadministration. The governor’s staff deals with the media, scheduling,speech writing, research, policy decisions and maintains liaisons withdepartment heads, legislative leaders and party leaders. The twoprincipal members of the governor’s staff are the chief of staff and thechief counsel to the governor who is the legal advisor on legislativeproposals. The executive departments implement policies set by thegovernor. The departments also have the primary responsibility forwriting the rules and regulations and administering laws passed by

27

the Legislature. Serving all the administrative agencies anddepartments, the Office of Administrative Law is an agency of theexecutive branch with two functions — to conduct administrativehearings into disputes between citizens and agencies or departmentsand to supervise the process of rule making (implementation oflegislation) by the executive branch departments and agencies.

Legislative Branch The New Jersey Legislature consists of theSenate and the General Assembly. All legislative sessions, manycommittee hearings and most public hearings are held in theStatehouse. The Senate and General Assembly chambers each havevisitor galleries. There are 40 senators, one from each legislativedistrict and 80 members of the Assembly (two from each legislativedistrict). Senators’ terms are four years except the term followingthe federal census which is two years. The full Senate is up forelection at the same time. Assembly members’ terms are two years,all 80 seats being elected in November of odd numbered years.

The Senate writes state laws, must confirm appointments of thegovernor and acts as the Court of Impeachment. The state budget(an appropriations bill) is by custom a Senate measure. TheAssembly writes state laws, originates all bills for raising revenue and has the sole power to vote impeachment charges.

Each house chooses its own officers and determines the rules of its own proceedings. The Senate elects a president while thepresiding officer elected by the General Assembly is called thespeaker. Each party elects its own legislative leaders in each house— a majority and assistant majority leader, a minority and assistantminority leader. There are four partisan staffs, one for each party ineach house. The Office of Legislative Services provides professionalnonpartisan staff to provide bill drafting, legal advice, budgetary andaudit information, research and analysis, staffing for legislativecommittees and study commissions.

The work of the Senate and Assembly is conducted in standingcommittees. After being introduced, a bill is numbered and usuallyreferred to the appropriate standing committee. Following releasefrom committee, each legislative house debates and may amend thebill and the vote is taken. Each legislature is constituted for a term oftwo years, split into two annual sessions. Bills introduced in the first-year session, but not passed by both houses, carry over into thesecond session. All unfinished business expires at the end of thesecond session. When in session the legislature usually convenestwice a week. There is no constitutional limit or requirement on thenumber of days the legislature must meet.

28

Judicial Branch The judicial branch of state governmentconsists of the New Jersey Supreme Court, Superior Court, TaxCourt, and Municipal Courts.

The Superior Court is divided into three divisions: Appellate, Law and Chancery. The Appellate Division receives appeals from the Law and Chancery divisions, from lower courts and from decisions of state agencies. The Law Division contains a Criminal Divisionhandling all indictments and accusations in criminal cases and a CivilDivision handling civil cases, appeals from municipal courts andprobate matters. There is a Special Civil Part for contracts,landlord/tenant disputes and small claims cases. In the Law Division asingle judge presides over a trial court, either with or without a jury.The Chancery Division contains a General Equity Part, a Probate Part,and a Family Division Part. General Equity cases involve issues oflabor injunctions, foreclosures, and dissolution of a corporation orpartnership. The Probate Part hears cases including challenges towills, appointments of administrators or conservators, requests fordeclarations of incapacity and appointment of guardians. The FamilyPart includes juvenile delinquency, juveniles and families in crisis,domestic violence, child abuse, adoption, paternity, divorce andcustody of children. In the Chancery Division a single judge presidesover the trials which are generally without juries.

The Tax Court, established by the Legislature in 1979, is a courtof limited jurisdiction to review state tax and local property taxassessments.

Municipal courts hear cases involving minor criminal offensessuch as simple assault, trespassing, and shoplifting. Municipal courtsalso handle motor vehicle violations and violations of municipalordinances. A municipal court may also try some types of criminalcases where the accused waives the right to indictment and trial byjury. In municipal court the judge handles cases alone without a jury.

New Jersey’s highest court is the Supreme Court. It serves as thecourt of last resort for cases involving constitutional questions ordissent in the Appellate Division. Under the state constitution theSupreme Court administers all the courts in New Jersey. The chiefjustice assigns judges, oversees the finances of courts, supervisesclerks and support personnel, conducts investigations to reviewcomplaints against the courts, and assembles statistics for the judicialsystem. The Supreme Court admits attorneys to practice anddisciplines them. It promulgates the rules that govern the admin-istration, practice and procedure in all courts. The AdministrativeOffice of the Courts was created as a management and control agencyto assist the chief justice and the Court. The chief justice appointsand supervises the director of the Administrative Office of the Courts.

29

NEW JERSEY LEGISLATIVE PROCESSHow a Bill Becomes Law: Citizens, interest groups, or elected

officials may propose a new law. The legislative process begins when alegislator decides to draft and sponsor a bill, sometimes with co-sponsors.The bill is introduced when the Senate Secretary or Assembly Clerk readsaloud the bill’s number, sponsor, and title during a legislative session (thefirst reading). The bill is printed, released to the public, and eitherassigned to a committee or sent to a second reading.

Then the committee chair may schedule hearings and review the bill,sometimes making changes (amendments). The public may speak aboutthe bill during these open meetings. If not considered, the bill “remains incommittee.” If the committee approves the bill, it is reported to the Houseand its title is read again (the second reading) where it may again beamended.

When scheduled by the Senate President or Assembly Speaker, thebill is given a third reading, debated, and may be voted on. The secondand third reading may occur on the same day only by an emergency voteof three-fourths of the members. A bill passes if it receives a majority ofvotes (at least 21 in the Senate or 41 in the General Assembly).

The bill follows a similar path in the second house. After both housesagree on the bill, it is sent to the governor. If the second house amendsthe bill, it is returned to the first house for a vote on the changes. BothAssembly and Senate must approve a bill in identical form.

The bill then goes to the governor who may either sign it, return it tothe Legislature with proposed changes (conditional veto), veto singlelines (where money is appropriated), or veto it absolutely. If the governortakes no action, after 45 days the bill becomes law. A vetoed bill can stillbecome law by a two-thirds vote override (27 in the Senate and 54 in theAssembly).

Statewide Public Questions: New Jersey statewide publicquestions (also known as ballot questions) are either constitutionalamendments or general obligation bond questions. Both types of publicquestions ask voters for a simple yes or no vote. General obligation bonds,when approved by the voters, constitute public debt and must beapproved by the New Jersey Legislature and the Governor before beingplaced on the ballot. Constitutional amendments do not require theGovernor's signature before being placed on the ballot. Instead theyrequire approval by the Legislature with a 60% vote in one legislativesession or with a simple majority vote in two successive sessions. TheLeague of Women Voters of New Jersey provides analyses of statewidepublic questions at www.lwvnj.org.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT

New Jersey has 21 counties, each governed by a Board of ChosenFreeholders. The county government is responsible for the

construction and maintenance of county roads and bridges and theoperation of a county jail. It may operate many programs such as policeand fire training academies and emergency services, maintain park andrecreation systems, administer programs for special groups, and usuallyassumes public health functions.

Freeholder boards consist of three to nine members, elected at largefor terms of three years on a staggered basis. Its members are policymakers and administrators. One freeholder, selected as director of theboard, presides over meetings and has a voice and a vote in boardproceedings. The board typically operates through committees whichadminister the operations of county government.

The Optional County Charter Law enacted in 1972 allows for fouradditional forms of county government — county manager, countyexecutive, county supervisor and board president. All options allow afreeholder board of five, seven, or nine members elected at-large, bydistricts, or a combination of the two with concurrent or staggered threeyear terms. All forms provide the voters with procedures for initiative,referendum and recall of elected officials.! The county manager form has a manager appointed by the freeholders

as chief executive and administrative official. The manager appointsand removes department heads, negotiates contracts, prepares thebudget and advises the freeholder board.

! The county executive plan has an elected chief executive who appointsa business administrator as well as heads of county boards andcommissions.

! The county supervisor and board president options are variationswhich give greater authority to the freeholder board overadministrative matters.Currently Union County has a county manager system and Atlantic,

Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Mercer have chosen a county executive plan.

County OfficialsSharing in county functions are several elected and state-appointed

officials. Each county has three constitutional officers — sheriff, countyclerk and surrogate.! The sheriff, elected for a three-year term, is responsible for operation

of the courts and may operate the county jail.! The county clerk, elected for a five-year term, is responsible for

51

election materials, county records, registering deeds and processingapplications for passports and naturalization papers.

! The surrogate, elected for a five-year term, probates wills, supervisesminors’ trust accounts, handles incompetency filings and rules onadministrative matters in uncontested probates and guardianships.

! Counties with populations over 250,000 may establish by referenduma register of deeds and mortgages who is elected for a five-year term.Only Essex and Hudson counties have this office.

! County Superintendent of Schools, appointed by and responsible tothe New Jersey Commissioner of Education, monitors the publicschool laws and expenditure of state school aid.

! The county prosecutor, appointed by the governor and responsible tothe New Jersey Attorney General, is the chief criminal lawenforcement officer.

! The Board of Elections, composed of two Democrats and twoRepublicans appointed by the governor, supervises voter registration,keeps records of eligible voters, provides voting machines and settlescertain controversies having to do with elections.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT

New Jersey is divided into 565 incorporated municipalities forpurposes of local government; there are no unincorporated areas.

New Jersey has a strong “home rule” history — a reliance on countyand municipal government to meet the needs of its citizens. Even so,the right to govern resides at the state level and state statutes delegatepowers to municipalities. Within the parameters set by the legislature,municipalities determine their form of government. A municipality’sname (city, borough, township, town or village) is not necessarily anindication of its form of government. All municipalities have a policy-making body (council, committee, commission or board of trustees)and a mayor as formal executive (in village form the title is president).The relationship between mayor and policy-making body varies withthe form of municipal government. Communities may have an electedexecutive to manage day-to-day affairs or an appointed administrator.Municipalities may elect officials at-large, by wards or a combination ofthe two in either partisan or nonpartisan elections.

There are eleven specific forms of municipal government in thestatutes, seven based on historical forms of local government and fourbased on the Faulkner Act. The two most used forms of municipalgovernment which are not Faulkner Act plans are the borough and thetownship forms of government.

! The borough system is a weak mayor and council system withpartisan elections; council performs most legislative and executivefunctions. This form of local government is used by 39 percent of themunicipalities.

! The township form consists of a three to five member townshipcommittee usually elected at-large in partisan elections. At itsorganizational meeting the committee selects one of its electedmembers to be mayor and preside at meetings. This form of localgovernment is used by 27 percent of municipalities.

! City, town, village, commission and council-manager systems areused by less than 13 percent of municipalities.

53

The Optional Municipal Charter Law or Faulkner Act offers fourbasic plans (mayor-council, council-manager, small municipality andmayor-council-administrator) and two procedures by which the votersof a municipality can adopt one of the plans. Twenty-one percent ofmunicipalities in New Jersey including the six most populous cities,Newark, Jersey City, Camden, Trenton, Paterson, and Elizabeth, governunder the Faulkner Act. It provides many choices for communities witha preference for a strong executive and professional management ofmunicipal affairs. It also offers initiative, referendum and recall ofelected officials to the citizens.

! The mayor-council plan gives the mayor strong powers. Municipalitiesunder this plan establish three to ten executive departments, headedby a director appointed by the mayor with the consent of the council.

! The council-manager plan places complete responsibility formunicipal affairs in the council. The council appoints a municipalmanager who is the chief executive with broad authority.

! The small municipality plan can be adopted by communities with apopulation of fewer than 12,000. All legislative powers are vested inthe council with the mayor presiding over council sessions and havingboth voice and vote.

! The mayor-council-administrator system is basically the borough formwith an appointed professional administrator added.
