Bill Summary
This bill would create the "County Self-Help Infrastructure Act," permitting the governing body of any county to impose a county-wide fee for the purpose of funding infrastructure construction within the county after first obtaining voter approval. Like many states, New Jersey's infrastructure needs are growing increasingly critical. Various other states have created a self-help fee at the local level to address these needs. Because local aid for these projects from the New Jersey Department of Transportation and other State agencies is woefully inadequate, New Jersey's counties could benefit tremendously from following other states' examples. The infrastructure construction fee created through this bill could take any reasonable form so long as it is presented to the voters through a public question that clearly states the maximum fee to be established.
AI Summary
This bill would create the "County Self-Help Infrastructure Act," permitting the governing body of any county in New Jersey to impose a county-wide fee for the purpose of funding infrastructure construction within the county after first obtaining voter approval. The infrastructure construction fee could take any reasonable form and would be used solely for funding infrastructure projects such as public highways, bridges, utilities, and water and sewer systems. The State Treasurer and the Department of Community Affairs would be responsible for promulgating rules and regulations to effectuate the provisions of the bill.
