Bill > A1539

Introduced Session

This bill would amend the "Optional Municipal Charter Law," P.L.1950, c.210 (C.40:69A-1 et seq.) so that a municipal charter commission may not direct a public question on adopting an optional plan of municipal government to be submitted to the voters at a special election. The bill would permit an optional plan of municipal government to be submitted to the voters at a general or regular municipal election, as long as the report of the municipal charter commission is filed with the municipal clerk at least 60 days prior to the election. If this deadline is missed, the public question would appear at the subsequent general or regular election. The bill would take effect immediately, and would be retroactive to January 1of the year of enactment.
