A 2702 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits dual elective office holding and holding of elective office and public office or position.

This bill prohibits New Jersey officeholders from simultaneously holding multiple elective offices (such as a state assembly seat and a mayoral position) or an elective office and a salaried appointive position (like a county commissioner role). Current officeholders who hold such dual positions may continue until the expiration of the next term for the elective office, after which they must hold only one office. The bill amends existing laws to eliminate the previous exception allowing continuous service in multiple offices. It applies to all elected and appointed positions across state, county, and municipal government. The changes take effect immediately.
