New Jersey S2210 mandates racial and gender diversity in membership for appointments to certain boards and commissions.

New Jersey S2210 requires that racial and gender diversity be a primary consideration for appointments to boards, commissions, task forces, or multi-member bodies established by statute. This applies to appointments made by the Governor, President of the Senate, Speaker of the General Assembly, or any other authorized person. The goal is to reflect the racial and gender diversity of the state's residents, unless it conflicts with specific appointment circumstances or statutory requirements. The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
