Bill Summary

This bill removes the requirement that local government officials certify their residency within the relevant jurisdiction on their financial disclosure form. The bill also provides that local government officers who are judicial or law enforcement officers will not be required to disclosure their home address, or that of a secondary residence where their immediate family, as defined in P.L.2021, c.371, may reside, under any circumstances. The bill allows for the local finance board to postpone the due date for financial disclosure forms for up to 60 days for those forms due to be filed in the year 2023.

AI Summary

This bill modifies financial disclosure requirements for local government officers, specifically by removing the need to disclose the exact address of their home or a secondary residence where their immediate family might live, instead allowing for a general description of the property's location. It also clarifies that for business organizations where the officer or their immediate family has an interest, if that business is located at the officer's home or a secondary residence, only the business name and a general description of its location are required, not the specific address. Furthermore, the bill allows the Local Finance Board to grant a 60-day extension for financial disclosure forms due in 2023 to accommodate these changes, and it applies to all financial disclosure statements filed from 2023 onwards.
