Prohibits the use of county and municipal vehicles by part-time elected local government officers.
This bill (A2661) prohibits part-time elected local government officers in New Jersey from using passenger vehicles purchased with public funds by municipalities, counties, or local government agencies. It directly affects part-time officials like mayors or council members who hold elected positions without full-time government employment. The key provision amends the Local Government Ethics Law (P.L.1991, c.29) by adding a new subsection requiring that no elected, part-time officer may accept or use such public vehicles. This change aims to prevent unnecessary public spending on vehicle assignments for part-time officials, as highlighted by a cited example from Atlantic City. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
