Introduced Text

New Jersey A522 mandates a study on dissolving county government and proposes legislative changes.

New Jersey A522 requires the "Local Unit Alignment, Reorganization, and Consolidation Commission" to study county government's structure, functions, and funding. The commission must report on the redundancy of county functions, the reallocation of county debt and service responsibilities, and the most efficient process for dissolving county government. The bill aims to reduce property tax burdens by eliminating what it considers an unnecessary governmental layer.
