Encourages local unit sharing of services; makes appropriations.

This New Jersey bill encourages municipalities to share services by requiring employment reconciliation plans for shared service agreements, which address how employees will be affected by such arrangements. It clarifies that civil service protections (Title 11A) won't apply to employees affected by shared service agreements and mandates that the Local Unit Alignment, Reorganization, and Consolidation Commission include savings estimates in all proposals. Municipalities failing to implement approved shared service agreements within 14 months would face annual reductions in state aid equal to the estimated savings. The bill also appropriates funds to support the commission's work in facilitating these service-sharing arrangements.
