A 2692 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Adds Bergen County as pilot county for purposes of "Common Sense Shared Services Pilot Program Act."

This bill adds Bergen County to the list of pilot counties allowed to participate in New Jersey's "Common Sense Shared Services Pilot Program." It directly affects municipalities in Bergen County and tenured local employees in specific roles (municipal clerks, chief financial officers, assessors, tax collectors, municipal treasurers, or public works managers). The key mechanism allows these municipalities to enter shared services agreements under existing law, where tenured employees in these roles may be dismissed if not selected to provide services across multiple municipalities, but they retain the right to return to their original positions if the agreement ends within two years. The program aims to evaluate whether sharing these services can reduce local costs for taxpayers.
