The bill makes an $11.3 million appropriation to the Department of Education (DOE) where it will be used to raise the current security allocation from $75 to $150 per child registered in a nonpublic school.

    LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 218TH NJ LEGISLATURE 2018-2019 DEAR FRIENDS, I am pleased to share this report card for the 2018-2019 New Jersey state legislature. Here is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to the right to life, education, family, marijuana, marriage, and other issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious liberty flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, this report card focuses on seven bills in the New Jersey Assembly and Senate during the 2018-2019 Legislative Session. All of those bills are included in this report card. A bill is passed by a simple majority in the Senate (21 votes out of 40 senators) and the Assembly (41 votes out of 80 Assembly members.) Lawmakers earned letter grades ranging from A–F based on how they voted on all the bills. This report card is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. One of the most common questions people ask is, “How did my legislator vote?” This report card should help you answer that question. Sincerely, Shawn Hyland Director of Advocacy CONTENTS Introduction Letter 2 Vote Descriptions 4 About the Report Card 3 Legislator Votes 5-7 - 2 - ABOUT THE REPORT CARD Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey selected votes on key legislation in the New Jersey Assembly and New Jersey Senate based on our core belief in promoting, protecting, and strengthening traditional family values.

Our scorecard rates each member of the New Jersey Senate and Assembly on their conservation record and actions taken to protect the environment in the Garden State. It does this by tracking how New Jersey’s 40 senators and 80 Assembly members voted on key legislation affecting air and water quality, open space, and the fight against climate change. As “the political voice for the environment,” New Jersey LCV uses its resources to elect environmental champions and support them in office while helping to defeat candidates and officeholders whose legislative priorities do not include air, water, and land protections. We empower legislators by providing background information before key environmental votes, and we hold legislators accountable for their positions and actions related to our environment.

  • Introduction Lobbying and Advocacy
    Introduction This Legislative Handbook is designed to provide guidance and assistance to representatives of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, Inc. (NJAMHAA) member organizations who participate in legislative activities. Specifically, the Legislative Handbook presents the Association’s legislative policy and procedures, simplifies the complexities of the legislative process, and provides an orientation to grassroots lobbying for all members. On behalf of its members, NJAMHAA meets with legislators, policy makers and business leaders in order to influence legislative, regulatory and funding decisions in ways that have the most positive outcome on its members. Through increased visibility and a stronger presence, NJAMHAA ensures that members’ concerns are expressed and that their interests are represented. This allows members the peace of mind of knowing that legislative or regulatory changes that are made will occur with their views expressed. NJAMHAA is committed to facilitating meaningful exchange both within the Association and with other industry stakeholders to achieve mutual advocacy. While NJAMHAA aggressively lobbies state and federal legislators on behalf of its members, these lawmakers need to hear from you, their local constituents, those who elect them. The louder and stronger the voice, the more impact that it has on all who hear it. Please use and refer back to this valuable resource to familiarize yourself with legislative advocacy procedures and to contact key legislators to collectively join other NJAMHAA members in advancing the cause for an improved community behavioral health system. Lobbying and Advocacy Oftentimes, the words “lobbying” and “advocacy” are used interchangeably. The legal definition of lobbying usually involves attempting to influence legislation.
