The New Jersey Amendment did not make the November 4, 2014 ballot in New Jersey as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The measure would have reduced local property taxes for some privately-held lands that were permanently preserved as open space. Sen. Jennifer Beck (R-11) and Sen. Stephen Sweeney (D-3) were the primary sponsors of this measure in the New Jersey Senate, where it was known as Senate Concurrent Resolution 37.[1]
