Provides that no more than four of the seven public members appointed to the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council may be of the same political party.
This bill amends New Jersey law to limit partisan representation on the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council. Specifically, it requires that no more than four of the seven state-appointed public members on the council may belong to the same political party. The change applies only to the seven state-appointed members (not the county-appointed members) and aims to ensure broader political representation on the council. This is a technical amendment to existing law without altering the council's duties or environmental protections.
