Encourages sharing of services; makes appropriations.

This bill (S 1121) promotes cost-saving shared services between New Jersey local governments (like cities and towns) by updating rules around Civil Service employment. It requires local units entering shared service agreements to create "employment reconciliation plans" that address how tenured employees may be transferred, retained, or terminated - ensuring terminated workers receive at least one month’s pay per five years of service. The bill directly affects municipalities, Civil Service employees, and the Civil Service Commission, which must review plans within 45 days. By streamlining disputes over Civil Service rules, it aims to help communities reduce property taxes through shared services, including a pilot program in seven diverse counties.
