Prohibits elected local government officers from accepting employment with law firm for a period of time if officer voted to award local government contract to firm.

This bill prohibits elected local government officers (such as mayors, council members, or county officials) from accepting employment with a law firm for one year if they voted to award a local government contract to that firm. It prevents conflicts of interest by blocking officials from immediately benefiting from contract decisions they made. The law applies specifically to contracts awarded to law firms where the officer cast a vote in favor. The bill amends existing ethics laws (P.L.1991, c.29) to extend a one-year waiting period - previously required for independent local authorities - to cover elected officials.
