S 2057 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Revises certain requirements for applicants to become certified municipal finance officers.*

This bill revises certification requirements for municipal finance officers in New Jersey. It requires applicants to hold a four-year college degree in business, accounting, finance, or a related field, or demonstrate four years of full-time experience in municipal finance roles (like treasurer or comptroller), with the option to substitute up to two years of college education for experience. Applicants must also complete specific training courses in municipal accounting, budgeting, and annual financial statement preparation. These changes directly affect individuals seeking certification to work in local government finance positions.
