S 3820 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners to maintain minutes of meetings; provides Governor veto over minutes.

This bill requires the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners in New Jersey to keep written minutes of all their meetings and public hearings, and it gives the Governor the authority to review and veto those minutes. Under the new rules, the commissioners cannot take any official action unless it occurs at a meeting where minutes are maintained, and a copy of those minutes must be sent to the Governor. The Governor has 15 days to approve the minutes or veto specific actions; if the Governor approves them early or does not respond within the deadline, the actions become effective. This process adds a layer of executive oversight to the commissioners' decision-making while ensuring their financial obligations remain unchanged.
