S 1162 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

S 1162 adds Bergen County to the list of pilot counties for New Jersey's "Common Sense Shared Services Pilot Program Act." This bill expands the existing program - which allows municipalities to share certain tenured local employee services (like clerks, CFOs, or assessors) across municipal boundaries - to include Bergen County. Under the program, participating municipalities may enter shared services agreements that permit dismissing tenured employees not selected for these shared roles, with protections for reappointment if the agreement ends within two years. The bill does not create new rules but extends the current pilot program to Bergen County, joining seven other counties (Atlantic, Camden, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Sussex, and Warren).
