Bill Summary
This bill reduces the number of members of the New Jersey Educational Facilities Authority (authority) that is required to constitute a quorum at a meeting of the authority. Under the bill, a majority of the current membership of the authority, but not less than three members, constitutes a quorum at any meeting of the authority. Under current law, a majority of the total authorized membership of the authority constitutes a quorum at any meeting of the authority.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the quorum requirements for the New Jersey Educational Facilities Authority (NJEFA), a public body that functions as an independent governmental instrumentality within the Department of the Treasury. Currently, a quorum requires a majority of the total authorized membership, but the bill changes this to require a majority of the current membership, with the stipulation that at least three members must be present. This adjustment provides more flexibility in conducting authority meetings, particularly if some board positions are vacant. The NJEFA consists of seven members, including two ex officio members (the Secretary of Higher Education and State Treasurer) and five citizens appointed by the Governor. The bill also makes a minor grammatical change, replacing gendered language like "his" with gender-neutral terms. By reducing the quorum requirement, the bill aims to make it easier for the authority to conduct business and make decisions even if not all board positions are currently filled.
