Assemblywoman Park moved the bill; the measure passed on a roll call of 49 in favor, 26 opposed and 1 abstention.

During floor debate, several members supported the bill’s reporting provisions as a transparency measure. Opponents objected specifically to a provision directing the Attorney General to post certain use-of-force data on the AG’s website. Assemblyman Jay Weber said the objection was not to transparency itself but to enforcement: \"this attorney general doesn't care what we say,\" he said, arguing the AG had failed to implement prior statutory posting requirements and similar measures passed by the Legislature.

Weber recounted prior bills directing the Attorney General to post data — on law enforcement suicides, assaults and civil asset forfeiture — that had not been implemented, and he said the chamber should consider whether to place additional directives on an office that, he argued, had not complied previously. Supporters said public posting would help build trust and allow evaluation of patterns of force.

After debate, the clerk reported the tally: 49 yes, 26 no, 1 abstention. The Speaker declared the bill passed and directed it to take the usual course of past bills.","The Assembly passed Assembly Bill 41 75, which concerns law enforcement use of force and requires reporting of such incidents; the vote was 49-26-1 after floor debate that centered on whether the Attorney General will implement the reporting requirements.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6304060,"Assembly approves resolution opposing U.S. House budget cuts after extended floor debate",2383,2875000,5258000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2469192-8c04086ba85ddb9f0648664d29009fab&start=2875&end=5258","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2469192-8c04086ba85ddb9f0648664d29009fab/thumbnail_2875000.jpg","/articles/6304060/New-Jersey/Assembly-approves-resolution-opposing-US-House-budget-cuts-after-extended-floor-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6304060-126ce03055cba149a071d7542c2c9c06/orig.mp4?Expires=1770850285&Signature=hj7IvEReSAvx2KTWD2rlFitmCyBoi8t8IKVgUhJTPWGKRtQaC6X5m4c7q0CI911ZCg3XGJRHmtiBqHBYc8eqpocXAUpjMNWfzz~2l7oZORRH5pWG2PrtDGI7U3dLbQi2B81upPs80ZB-Q9o4ALZ2J30XPTu85lxj5PDk31T1v8HdvVl4yh5vE2yZc64Fn0XYms5qgH7awRkF9Ocn5OepDsi18FWexFRN7vizMjd6Rfk4SrBzZRT1ewHxAwdsvm10l2u3i9qTSSUdLvei1fpaqJrMXAUoEitmSoVxzjyOftit0mOq6XQmzZG13mBDOzshMD4SXz~tK2A4fezeAXLPEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New Jersey General Assembly voted to approve Assembly Resolution 178, which condemns the U.S. House of Representatives for passage of a budget resolution that would cut roughly $1,500,000,000,000 from the federal budget and urges the U.S. Senate to reject that measure. Majority Leader Greenwald moved the resolution; the final vote was 44 in favor, 10 opposed and 8 abstentions.

Supporters said the resolution warns that deep, rapid federal cuts could harm state programs and the health-care providers that serve New Jersey residents. \"We receive $27,000,000,000 from the federal government, on average, to help support our budget,\" Majority Leader Greenwald said on the floor, urging caution and a careful review of any federal proposals. He framed the resolution as a statement of concern for programs that provide medical care and support services to households across the state.

Opponents described the resolution as politically driven and argued the House measure is an aspirational, nonbinding document. \"The congressional budget resolution ... is an aspirational document. It's not binding,\" Assemblyman Weber said, calling the resolution a misplaced lecture and urging members to focus on the state budget and their own fiscal choices. Other members from both parties criticized the timing and the resolution’s single-issue focus.

Several lawmakers pressed the Assembly to prioritize the state’s budget process instead of issuing a public rebuke of Congress. Assemblywoman Munoz and others said they opposed condemning congressional action when the legislature itself must make difficult spending choices at the state level. Proponents countered that state officials and congressional delegations receive constituent feedback and that a formal state-level statement could influence federal lawmakers in competitive districts.

The resolution advanced despite several procedural motions and a failed amendment to replace it with a proposal to establish a state delegation on government efficiency. The clerk announced the final tally as 44-10-8; the Speaker declared the resolution passed and that it would take the usual course of past resolutions.

Although largely symbolic — the Assembly cannot bind Congress — backers said the action was intended to alert federal lawmakers to potential downstream effects on Medicaid, hospitals and other services New Jersey residents use.

The Assembly moved on to other calendar items after the vote.","The New Jersey General Assembly passed Assembly Resolution 178, condemning a U.S. House budget resolution that would cut about $1.5 trillion from the federal budget. Lawmakers split along ideological lines during a lengthy debate on the resolution’s language and potential local impacts, particularly to Medicaid and health services.","actionData","errors"]
