Star Ledger reports - TRENTON -- The state Assembly signed a disputed pension bill with an amendment that would remove the chance for workers to opt-out of the state's pension system and switch to a 401(k)-style plan.

After much haggling throughout the day, the bill passed 62-5, with nine members abstaining and four not voting. Two other bills also passed swiftly after that.

The bill is headed to the Senate for another vote.

Gov. Chris Christie said he would sign the bills tonight right after final passage
