Prohibits use of county and municipal vehicles by part-time elected local government officers.
This bill prohibits part-time elected local government officials (like county council members or municipal commissioners) from using public vehicles funded by municipal or county budgets. It amends New Jersey's Local Government Ethics Law to add Section 5(l), explicitly stating that such officers may not accept or use passenger vehicles purchased with public funds. The change directly affects part-time elected officials who previously might have used taxpayer-funded vehicles for personal transportation. The bill aims to prevent unnecessary public spending, referencing concerns like Atlantic City's purchase of vehicles for part-time council members.
