Authorizes State Treasurer to appoint Garden State Preservation Trust acting executive director under certain conditions.

This bill authorizes the New Jersey State Treasurer to appoint an acting executive director for the Garden State Preservation Trust (GSPT) when the permanent position has been vacant for one year or longer. The appointment requires consultation with the Environmental Protection Commissioner and Agriculture Secretary, and the acting director serves a minimum one-year term at an annual cost capped at $150,000. The GSPT retains full oversight authority over the acting director, consistent with existing laws governing the trust. The bill directly affects the GSPT’s operations, which manage state conservation funds and report on open space, farmland, and historic preservation progress.
