Requires development of universal financial disclosure form for persons required to file financial disclosure statements with multiple public bodies; authorizes Joint Legislative Committee on Ethical Standards to accept form; codifies financial disclosure requirement for municipal prosecutors.
This New Jersey bill (S 3159) creates a single universal financial disclosure form for public officials who must file reports with multiple government entities, such as school officials, local government officers, and municipal prosecutors. It requires the State Ethics Commission to develop this form within 90 days, covering income over $2,000, fees over $250, gifts over $250-$400, business interests, and real estate holdings. The form must meet all legal requirements for each filing entity, while ensuring extra information not required by a specific body is not treated as public record. This streamlines reporting for affected officials without altering existing disclosure thresholds or requirements.
