Requires all elected or appointed local government officers to receive ethics training.

This bill requires all elected or appointed local government officers in New Jersey - including council members, authority members, and certain agency staff - to complete ethics training on the state's Local Government Ethics Law and applicable local codes. The training, developed by the Department of Community Affairs, must be offered semi-annually via accessible formats (including online) and covers legal requirements and ethical standards. Officers must complete training within six months of taking office, with personal fines ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 for non-compliance, paid directly by the officer (not the local government). The rules implementing this will be finalized within 120 days, with full compliance required within 18 months.
