S 2159 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Commissioner of Community Affairs to notify certain municipal officials of receipt of application for licensure of cooperative sober living residence.

This bill requires New Jersey's Commissioner of Community Affairs to notify a municipality's clerk and mayor (or chief executive) in writing whenever an application is submitted for a license to operate a cooperative sober living residence. It directly affects local municipal officials by adding this notification step to the existing licensing process for these specific facilities. The key mechanism is the written notice sent to the municipality upon receipt of the application, ensuring local leaders are informed early. This change applies only to applications for cooperative sober living residences, not other types of housing licenses.
