S 3748 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides for representation of Burlington County on SJTA.

This bill amends the South Jersey Transportation Authority Act to formally include Burlington County as a represented county within the authority's jurisdiction. The legislation expands the authority's scope to cover Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem counties, ensuring Burlington County has a voice in regional transportation planning and decision-making. The bill defines the authority's powers to manage expressways, aviation facilities, and related economic development projects across the designated region. It clarifies that the authority's activities complement but do not replace existing state transportation funding and public transit services.

What changed between versions

Introduced Reprint · 3 edits
MINOR
This is a first reprint of S 3748, which includes Burlington County as a member county of the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) and modifies the composition of its Board of Commissioners. The changes from the introduced version to the reprint are almost entirely technical: minor punctuation fixes (a semicolon changed to a period in one definition), a citation format adjustment, and removal of the bill's explanatory statement section. No substantive policy changes were made.
TECHNICAL

A semicolon at the end of the 'transportation system' definition was changed to a period.

The statutory citation 'N.J.S. 11A:6-19' was reformatted to 'N.J.S.11A:6-19' (removing a space).

The explanatory STATEMENT section at the end of the bill, which described the bill's purpose of adding Burlington County to SJTA and changing board composition, was removed from the reprint version.
