Introduced Text

New Jersey A4037 prohibits noncitizens from voting in local elections and restricts conduct by local government officers.

New Jersey A4037 declares that local units of government lack authority to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections, deeming such actions against public policy and null and void. The bill also amends the "Local Government Ethics Law" to include violations of an elected local officer's oath of office, such as approving ordinances permitting noncitizens to vote, as a violation subject to potential fine.
