A 3197 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides for priority consideration, by State, of permit applications by counties and municipalities with 10 or more shared services.

This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to give priority processing to permit or approval applications submitted by counties or municipalities that have formal agreements for 10 or more shared services (like joint police or waste management programs). It directly affects local governments that meet the 10-shared-services threshold under the Uniform Shared Services Act. The bill mandates the Department of Community Affairs to maintain and publicly post an updated list of qualifying local governments on its website, so state agencies can easily identify eligible applicants. This creates a clear, administrative process for faster review of applications from participating local entities.
