NJ’s Green Amendment is currently being considered in Committee in Trenton (SCR-43). We’ll learn more about this potential amendment’s status in Trenton, as well as more about this movement across the country! There are currently Green Amendments to state constitutions in Montana, New York and Pennsylvania – and others advancing in 11 more states. We’ve invited Senator Andrew Zwicker, of Hillsborough, a prime sponsor of the amendment, to join us , so we can get his take on just where this amendment stands in Trenton.
