Assemblywoman Caridad Rodriguez (D-West New York) signed on as a co-sponsor of A3101. She is the thirteenth member of the Assembly to sponsor the legislation. In addition, she also voted in favor of the bill on Monday October 27, 2008, when the New Jersey Assembly approved on a roll call vote of 50-28-1,
The Senate version of the Homeless Trust Fund legislation, S2354, was approved by the Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee by a vote of 4-0 on Monday December 8, 2008. Senator Redd, one of the prime sponsors of S2354 has requested that it be on the agenda for the Senate session in January. The calendar for 2009 has not been established. However, the State of the State speech will be on January 13, 2009. Thus the vote on this bill will occur at a date and time after that date.
We continue to strongly encourage our members to contact their State Senators and ask them to both sponsor and support S2354 when it comes to the floor of the Senate. We can provide draft letters upon request. To find out who represents you in the Senate click here.
A3101 was originally sponsored by Assemblywoman and Majority Leader Bonnie Watson Coleman.
