The bill now goes to the state’s Assembly, which is also led by Democrats. If passed there, it will go to Gov. Phil Murphy for his signature. Murphy also is a Democrat.
If the bill is signed, and Trump refuses again to release the documents, he could be banned from the 2020 New Jersey ballot, NorthJersey.com reported.
The bill was passed in 2017 by the legislature, but now-former Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, vetoed it, the newspaper reported.
At least 30 other states have introduced similar bills, but none have passed, NewJersey.com reported.
It has been tradition, but not legally required for presidential candidates to release their tax returns, according to NewJersey.com.
