Allows planning and zoning board members to satisfy training requirements on Internet.
S 787 requires the Commissioner of Community Affairs to offer a basic land use law and planning training course for planning and zoning board members in both online and in-person formats. It mandates that new members and current members must complete this course within 18 months of joining or when the course becomes available. The bill allows board members to fulfill their training requirement online, removing the need to attend in-person sessions during work hours or weekends. This change applies to all local planning boards, zoning boards of adjustment, and combined boards as defined by New Jersey law.
