CITIZENS GUIDE AN OVERVIEW FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AT THE NEW JERSEY STATE HOUSE New Jersey Legislature Office of LEGISLATIVE SERVICES Prepared by the Office of Public Information Current as of September 18, 2018.
WELCOME TO THE NEW JERSEY STATE CAPITOL The public is invited to the Capitol to participate in the lawmaking process. Galleries on the second floor of the State House allow for citizens to observe voting sessions. The Senate President and General Assembly Speaker establish standards for access and decorum, which are enforced by Sergeants at Arms. Committee meetings are held in the State House Annex and are open to the public. Committee chairs determine matters of protocol. Advance registration to provide testimony typically is required and arranged by the committee aide. If public attendance exceeds room capacity, an overflow space is provided when possible. Citizens seeking to address legislators may wait in public corridors, with the expectation they will not impede anyone s progress, hold signs, or create a disturbance. Rules for access are set by the State Capitol Joint Management Commission and enforced by the State Police. Public events and displays inside the Capitol are coordinated through the Public Use Program (609-847-3130). Outside gatherings require a permit from the State Police (609-984-4222). Notice of legislative activity is available at www.njleg.org, on Twitter @OLS_Leginfo, and from the Legislative Information and Bill Room (LIBR) in Room B1 of the State House Annex (800-792-8630/609-847-3905). A publication with information for visitors with special needs is available from the LIBR and at www.njleg.org. Arrangements for special services are coordinated by the OLS Administrative Unit at 609-847-3353. More information about the Capitol and the legislative process is provided on free State House Tours, offered hourly on weekdays from 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., and starting in the Annex lobby.
