How to search legislation:
On the New Jersey Legislature Page,
Scroll down to the bottom left and you will find a Bill Search Section. There are many ways to conduct a search in this area.
Sponsored Legislation: You can choose the legislative session (it defaults to the current session, but you can go back to past sessions). Choose your legislator (sponsor) from the dropdown to see which bills the legislator sponsored. If they are the "first prime" then they introduced the bill.
Voting records: From the top navigation, under members, choose "Legislative Roster" and click on the member's name. On their page you will find a link to their voting record.
What has been signed into law: you can search by keywords (such as "PFAS" or "mitigation" for example). You can also search by selecting "Subject" and view the dropdown.
