Requires Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy to undertake study to determine efficiency and scaling in delivery of local government services.

This bill requires Rutgers' Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy to study how local governments in New Jersey can deliver services more efficiently. The study will examine seven specific service areas - including municipal courts, fire code enforcement, property tax assessments, public works, and emergency services - to identify cost-saving opportunities while maintaining service quality. The school must complete a report with recommendations for the Governor and Legislature within one year, using $30,000 from the Property Tax Relief Fund. The goal is to inform potential policy changes that could reduce New Jersey's high property tax burden, which the Legislature identifies as a priority. This study directly affects all local government units (municipalities, counties, and special districts) responsible for delivering these services.
