In addition to passing laws and resolutions, it approves all spending by the state. It also has the power of oversight and investigation over the state bureaucracy. The Assembly has 150 members.

All laws Involving taxes must originate there, because it's assumed that members of this house are closer to their constituents since they serve fewer people than each senator. Legislation must be approved by both houses of the Legislature. If a governor objects to a bill or a line item in the Legislature's approved budget, the legislators can override a gubernatorial veto with a two-thirds majority.
