The Economic Growth Committee is a standing committee of the New Jersey Senate.

Per Section 3.6 of the Senate Rules, committees of the New Jersey State Senate are appointed by the senate president.[1] The rules do not specify when or how often committees are assigned. In appointing senators from the minority party, the senate president can ask for recommendations from the minority leader. If at anytime a committee member is unable to serve, the senate president can appoint another senator.[1] The majority leader and minority leader are considered to be ex-officio members on all standing reference committees, but have no voting rights.[2]

Function[edit]

Reference committees may consider bills, resolutions, nominations and other matters referred to them by the President or by Senate Resolution; review the functions, duties and operations of agencies of the State, and its political sub divisions, relevant to their subject areas; and investigate any matter within their subject areas, which investigations shall conclude with a written report to the Senate which may include findings and recommendations.[3][4]
