Permits board of county commissioners to establish "Sharing Resources" grant and loan program to encourage shared services and municipal consolidation.

This bill allows New Jersey county commissioners to create a "Sharing Resources" program offering grants and loans to local municipalities. It directly affects towns and cities studying shared services (like combining police or waste management) or consolidation (merging with another municipality), covering costs for feasibility studies, consultants, and one-time startup expenses. Counties must exclude debt financing from the program, set cost-effective award limits, and provide technical support for applicants. Funding can come from state, federal, or private sources, or county taxes, with the Commissioner of Community Affairs setting application guidelines.
