A bill that would place 14-day limits on Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive orders was tabled for a second time by Senate Democrats on Thursday.
Under the bill, S-2482, which was sponsored by the entire state Senate Republican delegation, an executive order related to a state of emergency would automatically expire unless the legislature gave its approval. If approval was not sought or granted Murphy could not reissue the same or similar order. That s important because he hasn t shared any real information with legislators to justify his orders that have impacted the lives and livelihoods of every New Jerseyan, New Jersey Senate Republicans wrote on their Facebook page.
