A New Jersey Voter Approval of Indebtedness for Transportation Amendment, ACR 90 did not make the November 4, 2014 election ballot in New Jersey as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. The measure would have required voter approval of a dedicated revenue source for some bonded indebtedness of the state's transportation system. The measure was sponsored by Assemblyman Louis Greenwald (D-6) in the New Jersey Assembly, where it was known as Assembly Concurrent Resolution 90.[1]

At the time in New Jersey, proposed constitutional amendments had two ways of achieving ballot access. The New Jersey Legislature could either qualify it with supermajority approval of 60 percent in one legislative session or with simple majorities in two successive sessions. This measure did not receive the necessary supermajority required for a 2014 ballot placement. ACR 90 was introduced on January 16, 2014, and was referred to the Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee.[3]
