Concerns certification of tax collectors.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes new certification requirements for tax collectors in New Jersey municipalities. It mandates semi-annual exams covering lien enforcement, tax collection procedures, and municipal fiscal practices, requiring applicants to meet specific education (e.g., four-year degree or equivalent experience) and training (Municipal Tax Collection I-III courses) criteria. Tax collectors serving municipalities using the State fiscal year must now complete a separate State fiscal year certification course ($250 fee) and receive a special endorsement on their certificate. The law directly affects current and prospective tax collectors, with municipalities operating under the State fiscal year unable to appoint uncertified individuals for these roles.

Revises number of qualified disabled veterans' businesses required to designate set-aside contract from three to two.

Maddy summaryThis bill changes New Jersey's requirement for designating set-aside contracts for disabled veterans' businesses, reducing the number of qualified businesses needed from three to two. It directly affects state contracting agencies and disabled veterans' businesses by making it easier to qualify for these set-aside contracts, which reserve work for veteran-owned businesses. The change aligns New Jersey's standard with federal guidelines and neighboring states, addressing challenges caused by the low number of registered disabled veterans' businesses in the state. The amendment modifies existing law to allow set-asides when at least two qualified businesses can bid fairly on the contract.
