Permits county board of chosen freeholders to appoint interim member of county tax board under certain circumstances.

S 139 allows county boards of chosen freeholders to appoint an interim member to fill a vacancy on a county tax board if the Governor fails to appoint a replacement within 30 days. This directly affects county tax boards (which handle property tax assessments and appeals) and county boards of chosen freeholders (the local governing bodies). The key provision sets a 30-day deadline for the Governor to fill vacancies; if unmet, the county board appoints an interim member to serve until the Governor makes a permanent appointment. The bill aims to prevent county tax boards from operating with insufficient members, ensuring tax assessment and appeal processes continue smoothly during delays.
