Reforms procedures concerning provision of affordable housing; repeals "Statewide Non-Residential Development Fee Act."

This bill (S 532) abolishes New Jersey's Council on Affordable Housing and transfers its responsibilities - including oversight of affordable housing programs and related funding - to the Department of Community Affairs. It also repeals the "Statewide Non-Residential Development Fee Act," removing a specific fee structure for nonresidential development. The key mechanism is the consolidation of housing-related powers and funds under a single state agency, streamlining administration for municipalities and developers working on housing projects. This directly affects local governments, housing developers, and affordable housing programs statewide.
