Establishes Office of Citizen Involvement, Land Use, and Planning Advocate and transfers basic course in land use law and Office of Planning Advocacy to newly established office.

This bill establishes the Office of Citizen Involvement, Land Use, and Planning Advocate within New Jersey's Department of State, replacing the existing Office of Planning Advocacy. It requires local planning and zoning board members to complete a mandatory basic land use law course within 18 months of joining, and transfers all related programs, staff, and funding to the new office. The office will create a public database tracking large projects like warehouses, provide plain-language guidance to residents, and maintain resources for officials on development processes. It also mandates the office to coordinate between local governments and state agencies on land use matters.
