Permits counties to charge a fee to fund infrastructure through voter approval.
This bill allows New Jersey counties to impose a voter-approved fee specifically to fund local infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, and water systems. Counties must first seek voter approval through a referendum requiring over 50% support, with the public question clearly stating the fee amount, duration, and projects. The fee would be collected and managed by the county governing body, with funds strictly limited to infrastructure construction within the county. It directly affects counties, giving them a new tool to address infrastructure needs when state funding is insufficient, but requires direct voter consent for implementation.
