S 3622 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes Director of Board of County Commissioners to appoint designee to serve on county planning board.

This bill (S 3622) changes how county planning boards in New Jersey are staffed. It authorizes the director of a county's Board of County Commissioners to appoint a designee to serve on the county planning board instead of requiring the director to serve personally. Currently, the director must serve as a member; this bill allows them to delegate that role to a chosen representative. The change applies to all counties with planning boards established under existing law and involves no substantive policy shift, only a procedural adjustment to board membership rules.
