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 allows municipalities with fewer than 2,500 residents, as determined by the most recent federal census, to opt out of New Jersey's Civil Service system, known as Title 11A of the New Jersey Statutes, by passing a local ordinance. If a municipality decides to leave the Civil Service system, this change will become effective six months after the ordinance is passed. Should a municipality's governing body reject an ordinance to leave the Civil Service system, they cannot vote on rescinding it again for at least five years. Furthermore, once a municipality withdraws from Title 11A, it cannot rejoin for at least five years from the effective date of the withdrawal, and they will only be allowed to readopt the Civil Service provisions one time.
