The Budget Committee and Appropriations 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]
