A 128 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Clarifies timing of adjustments to county district boundaries and municipal ward boundaries following congressional and legislative redistricting.

This bill clarifies the timeline for adjusting county and municipal boundaries after federal redistricting. It requires county district commissioners and municipal ward commissioners to meet within 30 days of congressional and legislative districts being certified by the Redistricting and Apportionment Commissions, rather than waiting for the decennial census. The changes amend existing laws (P.L.1972, c.154 and P.L.1981, c.496) to prevent confusion caused by delayed census data, ensuring boundary adjustments align with new district lines. It directly affects local officials responsible for redistricting at the county and municipal levels.
