Provides that no more than four of the seven public members appointed to the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council may be of the same political party.

This bill (A2695) amends New Jersey law to limit political party representation on the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council. It specifies that no more than four of the seven public members appointed by the Governor (from the general public) may belong to the same political party. This change directly affects the appointment process for these seven council members, ensuring broader political diversity. The provision applies specifically to the public members appointed under Section 5 of P.L.2004, c.120, without altering other council composition rules or responsibilities.
