Requires Director of Division of Local Government Services in DCA to establish grant program to enhance local government efficiency; appropriates $1.5 million.

This bill creates a $1.5 million grant program administered by New Jersey's Division of Local Government Services to help local governments (municipalities and counties) improve operational efficiency. It allows local governments to apply for grants - up to $150,000 for counties or $100,000 for municipalities - to hire licensed consultants for efficiency reviews, with applicants required to contribute 25% of the grant amount as matching funds. Recipients must report on specific cost savings, shared services, or service improvements achieved within one year of receiving funds. The program mandates public reporting of results through comparative profiles and annual summaries to the Governor and Legislature.
