Bill Summary

This bill permits the governing body of a municipality having fewer than 2,500 persons, according to the latest federal decennial census, that operates under the provisions of Title 11A, Civil Service, of the New Jersey Statutes to rescind the adoption of Title 11A by ordinance. If the governing body of a municipality rescinds the adoption of Title 11A by ordinance, the rescission will take effect six months following the passage of the ordinance. If a governing body rejects an ordinance to rescind the adoption of Title 11A of the New Jersey Statutes, a new vote by the governing body on an ordinance to rescind will not be held for a period of at least five years following the rejection of rescission. A municipality which rescinds the adoption of the provisions of Title 11A of the New Jersey Statutes cannot readopt the provisions of that title for a period of at least five years from the effective date of the rescission and will be permitted to readopt the provisions of Title 11A only once.

AI Summary

This bill permits municipalities with fewer than 2,500 residents to withdraw from the state's civil service system by ordinance. The governing body of such a municipality can rescind the adoption of Title 11A, the Civil Service statute, and this rescission will take effect six months after the ordinance is passed. Municipalities that rescind civil service cannot readopt it for at least five years, and can only readopt it once. The New Jersey Civil Service Commission is required to promulgate regulations to implement this change.
