A 4554 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires DCA to survey and report on special improvement districts and downtown business improvement zones.*

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to survey all municipalities and create a public list identifying every special improvement district and downtown business improvement zone in the state. The DCA must publish this list online within six months of the bill's enactment and update it every two years thereafter. Special improvement districts are areas where property owners pay extra fees for local services like street cleaning or marketing, typically managed by local business associations. The bill focuses on transparency by making this information publicly accessible, without changing how these districts operate or their funding.
