A 4306 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies timing of adjustments to county district boundaries and municipal ward boundaries following congressional and legislature redistricting.

This bill clarifies the timeline for adjusting county district and municipal ward boundaries after federal and state redistricting. It requires county district commissioners and municipal ward commissioners to meet and make necessary boundary adjustments within 30 days following the certification of congressional and legislative districts by the Redistricting and Apportionment Commissions. The change resolves confusion caused by prior ambiguous deadlines, which led to repeated redistricting efforts when census data was delayed (like in 2020). It directly affects county and municipal officials responsible for redistricting under New Jersey law. The bill updates existing statutes to align with constitutional changes addressing census delays.
