Bill Summary
This bill provides that, of the appointed members of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, at least one is to be a resident of Atlantic County, Burlington County, Camden County, Cape May County, Gloucester County, Ocean County, or Salem County; at least one is to be a resident of Mercer County, Middlesex County, or Monmouth County; and at least one is to be a resident of Bergen County, Essex County, Hudson County, Union County, or Passaic County. The bill only applies to members of the authority appointed on or after the bill's enactment into law.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the composition of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority by requiring geographic diversity among its appointed members. Specifically, the bill mandates that of the five members appointed by the Governor (in addition to the Commissioner of Transportation who serves ex officio), at least one member must reside in the southern region of New Jersey (Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Gloucester, Ocean, or Salem Counties), at least one member must reside in the central region (Mercer, Middlesex, or Monmouth Counties), and at least one member must reside in the northern region (Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Union, or Passaic Counties). The bill also makes several minor grammatical updates to the existing law, such as replacing gendered language like "his" with more neutral terms like "the member's". The new requirements will only apply to members appointed after the bill's effective date, and the bill takes effect immediately upon enactment. These changes aim to ensure that the Turnpike Authority's membership represents a broader geographic cross-section of New Jersey.
