Bill Summary

This bill revises provisions of State law concerning the operations of the New Jersey Civic Information Consortium. When the consortium was the first established in 2018, it was the first of its kind. The lessons learned in the years since its inauguration have led to amendments in 2021, and further changes proposed in this bill. Primarily, the bill staggers the terms of service for the consortium's board of directors. The bill also removes the provisions of law concerning hiring program officers and administrative staff. This bill broadens the categories of university representatives that can serve as grantee partners and permits unspent funds to be used in subsequent years, allowing the flexibility to provide multi-year grants.
