A 2519 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes soil conservation districts to have more than five supervisors.

This bill changes New Jersey law to allow soil conservation districts to have more than five supervisors on their leadership teams. Currently, districts are limited to exactly five supervisors appointed by the State Soil Conservation Committee. The bill authorizes the State Soil Conservation Committee to set the maximum number of supervisors for each district, replacing the fixed limit. This change directly affects local soil conservation districts and their governance structure.
