S 2064 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes soil conservation districts to have more than five supervisors.

This bill (S 2064) changes New Jersey law to allow soil conservation districts to have more than five supervisors. Currently, each district must have exactly five supervisors appointed by the State Soil Conservation Committee. The bill authorizes the Committee to set the maximum number of supervisors for each district based on local needs, rather than requiring a fixed five. This change directly affects soil conservation districts across the state, giving them flexibility in local governance.

MINOR

This is a procedural transition from technical review to introduced status for S 2064. The bill text itself did not change; the only substantive addition is a legislative statement clarifying that the bill would allow soil conservation districts to have more than five supervisors, with the State Soil Conservation Committee setting the maximum number per district.

TECHNICAL

A STATEMENT section was added summarizing the bill's purpose: authorizing soil conservation districts to have more than five supervisors, with the State Soil Conservation Committee determining the maximum number for each district. Current law limits each district to five supervisors.

Bill status changed from 'As reported by the Senate Environment and Energy Committee with technical review' to 'Introduced Pending Technical Review by Legislative Counsel,' reflecting a procedural stage change rather than a policy change.
