Senator Paul Sarlo, chair of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee, announced the panel’s schedule of hearings to review the budget proposal for the 20-21 Fiscal Year, scheduled to begin October 1, 2020.

The in-person meetings will be held in Committee Room 4 of the State House Annex in Trenton. The building is closed to the public because of the pandemic, but the budget meetings will be open to credentialed press and accessible via the OLS website: https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/

“This is one of the most difficult budgets in our lifetime that presents economic and fiscal challenges,” said Senator Sarlo. “We have a compressed timeframe, but I am confident that we can work together on a spending plan that makes the most of our resources and does the best to address the needs of New Jersey in a time of crisis.”
