Provides for mayor to retain appointing authority under certain circumstances.
This bill clarifies that mayors elected at-large in New Jersey municipalities using the council-manager form of government retain appointing authority for school boards and public library trustees, as required by general law. It amends existing statutes to ensure mayoral appointments for these positions remain with the mayor, rather than transferring authority to the municipal manager. The change specifically applies to mayors elected citywide (at-large) during regular municipal elections. This directly affects mayors and school boards in council-manager municipalities where the mayor is elected at-large. The bill does not create new appointments but clarifies who holds existing appointing power under current law.
