- Concurrent resolution: A legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the President/Governor and thus do not have the force of law.
- State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
At the direction or request of the Legislature by concurrent resolution or of the Governor or of the head of any department, board, bureau, commission, authority or other agency created by the State, or to which the State is a party, the commission shall investigate the management or affairs of any such department, board, bureau, commission, authority or other agency; provided, however, that if the commission determines that the requests for investigations from the Legislature, the Governor or the head of any department, board, bureau, commission, authority or other agency created by the State or to which the State is a party, exceed the commission’s capacity to perform such investigations, they may, by resolution, ask the Governor or the Attorney General or the Legislature in the case of a legislative request, to review those requests upon which it finds itself unable to proceed.
