A5294 exempts sales of investment metal bullion and investment coins from sales and use tax.
The New Jersey State Senate passed A5294 on January 8, 2024 by a vote of 36 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill is a strong step toward restoring constitutional money and the gold standard.
A5086 increases the minimum monthly benefit under State SNAP Minimum Benefits Program from $50 to $95 and authorizes Department of Human Services (DHS) to increase program benefit amount.
The New Jersey State Senate passed A5086 on February 2, 2023 by a vote of 39 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the U.S. Constitution does not permit federal social-welfare programs and propping people up via government support. This expands the size of government and promotes socialist ideologies.Â
S2857 establishes the "Sustainable New Jersey Fund" in the Department of Environmental Protection to support certain sustainability initiatives and allocates $1 million for enforcement.
The New Jersey State Senate passed S2857 on June 30, 2023 by a vote of 35 to 1. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation expands government and exceeds constitutional limits. States should push back against the Marxist climate change agenda. Moreover, this legislation aligns with the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, imposing unconstitutional globalist policies that undermine national and state sovereignty.
A5651 supports New Jersey's offshore wind projects by allowing owners and investors of these wind projects to keep certain federal tax benefits. It acknowledges challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and global economic instability.
The New Jersey State Senate passed A5651 on June 30, 2023 by a vote of 21 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this legislation creates more government interference in the free market economy. Additionally, tax credits are a misuse of tax dollars and represent unnecessary interference in the free market, advancing a Marxist climate change agenda.
S3275 requires the establishment of a new state website with information on "rights" related to "health benefits" coverage for reproductive "health care" services, meaning abortion services.
The New Jersey State Senate passed S3275 on June 30, 2023 by a vote of 23 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because states should do the opposite and act to ban abortion and guarantee the right to life for all persons. Taxpayers should not fund anything that has to do with aiding or providing information for abortion services. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the 5th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
S3044 makes supplemental appropriation of $15 million to the Department of Environmental Protection for implementation of the Electric School Bus Program.
The New Jersey State Senate passed S3044 on December 21, 2023 by a vote of 22 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this is a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars, buying into the Marxist green agenda.
