Requires public question to allow fire district to raise amounts that exceed permissible property tax levy increase to be submitted at general election.

S 281 requires fire districts in New Jersey to hold votes on property tax increases exceeding the standard allowance at the general election, rather than at a separate election. This applies when a fire district seeks to raise more money than the standard property tax levy increase allows. The bill amends current law to mandate that such votes occur during the general election cycle. This change affects fire districts by aligning their tax increase votes with regular election schedules, streamlining the approval process.
