Committees do not have individuals websites. Membership and schedule can be found on the Joint Committees website.
Purpose/Jurisdiction #
“[F]ind ways to provide fair opportunities for minorities and low-income communities…The committee is authorized to conduct a continuing study of issues concerning economic justice and equal employment, including public hearings, and to recommend reforms and remedies” (InsiderNJ).
“We need to aggressively address the social and economic disparities that continue to put minorities and low-income communities at a disadvantage. The committee will conduct public hearings to get input from the businesses and individuals who are trying to break through the barriers that make it hard to get a fair shot at public-sector business. This should include opportunities with the State Division of Investment. Minority-owned firms deserve a fair opportunity to participate in managing state investments” (former Senate President Steve Sweeney, InsiderNJ).
“The joint committee will be tasked with addressing the critical issue of ensuring minorities and women in New Jersey are afforded the same opportunities as their white counterparts. This is particularly important with many people returning to the workforce as we continue to recover from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Young people, women and Black and Latino residents are disproportionately suffering from the current economic crisis. The joint committee will do everything within its means to provide economic and social fairness going forward” (Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, InsiderNJ).

“The staff of the Joint Committee shall review all bills introduced into both houses each Legislative session for identification of those bills which will clearly have a significant impact upon the cost, availability, or affordability of housing in New Jersey. A list of those bills so identified shall be prepared, and thereafter a statement to the sponsor and the chairman of the committee, if any, to which a bill on the list was referred, or to the presiding officer of the House in which the bill originated if no such reference was made, shall be sent by the Joint Committee Staff indicating that a housing affordability impact note is required. An impact note for each bill on the list shall thereafter be completed by the Joint Committee as soon as practicable, unless a request to expedite the preparation of an impact note is made by the bill’s sponsor. If there is insufficient information to prepare a reliable estimate of the anticipated impact, a statement to that effect may be filed and shall meet the requirements of this section. The Legislative Budget and Finance Officer and the Office of Legislative Services shall provide such assistance as may be requested by the Joint Committee in the preparation of the housing affordability impact note” (N.J.S. § 52:9RR-5).
