Concerns local unit budget processes and related operations.

This bill amends New Jersey's local government budget processes by extending key deadlines for municipal and county budget submissions, approvals, and audits. It increases penalties for non-compliance with budget requirements from $25 to $100 per day and establishes a 90-day deadline for filling vacancies in key budget-related roles like chief financial officer and tax collector. The bill also increases the allowable temporary budget amount for calendar-year municipalities from 26.25% to 35% of prior year's appropriations. These changes apply to all New Jersey municipalities and counties operating under calendar fiscal years.
