Bill Summary

This bill amends sections 11 and 19 of the "Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act," N.J.S.A.40A:65-11 and N.J.S.A.40A:65-19, concerning the establishment of an employment reconciliation plan when a local unit agrees to participate in a joint meeting or shared service agreement that will provide a service that the local unit is currently providing itself through public employees. The bill would permit a local unit that has adopted Title 11A, Civil Service, to substitute a layoff plan for the employee reconciliation plan under certain circumstances. This bill is part of the Governor's toolkit for local units, and is intended to reduce the hurdles standing in the path of shared service agreements and joint meetings.
