A 1539 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits public question on adoption of optional plan of municipal government at special election.

This bill prohibits municipal charter commissions from scheduling public votes on adopting optional municipal government plans at special elections. Instead, such votes must be placed on ballots at general or regular municipal elections, provided the commission's report is filed with the clerk at least 60 days before the election. If the 60-day deadline is missed, the vote moves to the next general election. The bill affects municipal charter commissions and voters in New Jersey municipalities by restricting when these government structure decisions can be decided by the public. It amends the Optional Municipal Charter Law to ensure these votes occur only at standard municipal election times.
