The caucus system was a practice by the Republican Party in the New Jersey State Senate between 1949 and 1974 which prevented floor votes on any bill which lacked the support of a majority of members of the majority caucus. The practice, used by the Republican majority, resulted in legislative decisions made in virtual secrecy in private party caucus meetings attended only by the Senators of the majority party.
