A 3214 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides that no more than four of seven public members appointed to Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council may be of same political party.

This bill amends New Jersey's Highlands Water Protection and Planning Council appointment rules. It directly affects the Governor's authority to appoint seven public members to the council, requiring that no more than four of these members belong to the same political party. The key provision limits partisan balance among these seven public appointees, ensuring no single party dominates this segment of the council. This change applies to all future appointments under the council's structure.
