Requires all elected or appointed municipal and county officials to complete annual ethics training.

This bill requires all elected and appointed municipal and county officials in New Jersey to complete annual ethics training on the state's Local Government Ethics Law and any applicable local code of ethics. New officials must finish training within six months of taking office, while all others must complete it by December 1 each year. The state will develop a standardized training program (which may include online options), and officials must sign a certificate of completion and file it with their municipal attorney or county counsel. Failure to comply may result in personal fines of $1,000 to $5,000, payable directly by the official.
