Assembly Oversight, Reform and Federal Relations Committee will convene at 10:00 AM. The committee will take testimony from invited guests on the 2020 census, the timeline and status of the collection of census data in New Jersey, the importance of the census for the distribution of federal funds, and how COVID-19 has impacted the intake of information thus far.
The Assembly Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee will meet at 3:00 PM. The panel will take testimony concerning the state of the insurance industry.
