>>>someone will file a companion Senate Bill with identical wording

What does that mean? Do you mean to block this?

You need identical bills to pass in the Senate and Assembly, before it can go the the Governor for signature. Of the ten or so steps needed to pass a law, this one is about on step half of one. Technically, it hasn't even been introduced in the Assembly yet.

It might be worthwhile checking to see if a similar bill was introduced in the last 2 year legislative session. If it was, chances are good this one is going nowhere as well.

Also, to give you some perspective, there are about 12,000 bills prefiled for each legislative session in New Jersey, Only about 100 of those become law, each year. Most of them are PURE political posturing.
