Bill Summary
Relative to comprehensive training programs for members of housing or redevelopment authorities. Housing.
AI Summary
This bill amends an existing law regarding training requirements for members of housing or redevelopment authorities. Specifically, the bill requires that when members are first appointed or elected, and upon subsequent reappointment or reelection, they must complete a training program developed by the department within 90 days of assuming their position. Additionally, members will be required to complete a refresher training program every 3 to 5 years. The bill stipulates that failing to complete the initial training within 90 days of taking office or failing to complete the periodic training every 3 to 5 years may be considered neglect of duty, which could potentially lead to removal proceedings under section 6 of the law. This requirement aims to ensure that housing authority members are consistently educated and up-to-date on their responsibilities and best practices in managing housing and redevelopment authorities.
