AN ACT AUTHORIZING CERTAIN MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES TO SERVE ON MUNICIPAL BOARDS OF FINANCE.

This bill allows municipal employees to serve on municipal boards of finance under specific conditions, provided they are not directly supervised by the board. It modifies existing state statutes to permit employees who earn less than $10,000 annually, those with legislative body membership, or those authorized by local charter or ordinance to hold these positions. The legislation also updates rules for planning commissions, allowing municipalities to include municipal employees as members if they have adopted the appropriate local authorization. These changes take effect on October 1, 2026, and aim to clarify eligibility requirements without creating new government positions or altering fiscal responsibilities.
