New Jersey A3686 allows county boards to create a grant and loan program for shared services and municipal consolidation.

New Jersey A3686 permits the board of county commissioners to establish a "Sharing Resources" grant and loan program to encourage shared services and municipal consolidation. The program allows local units to apply for financial assistance for one-time start-up costs necessary to implement shared services. The board can set limits on aid awards and negotiate the various provisions, costs, payment provisions, and amounts of grants or loans to ensure that the proposed shared service is cost effective and in the public interest.
