Introduced Text

Eliminates dual governmental pay for New Jersey legislators for legislative duties.

The bill amends current law to restrict New Jersey legislators holding county or municipal jobs from taking paid leave for legislative duties. Instead, they must take unpaid leave. This change aims to ensure legislators do not receive dual pay for their legislative work, aligning their compensation with their time away from local government jobs. The bill is set to take effect January 1 following its enactment.
