Bill Summary
This bill would require the Commissioner of Community Affairs to ensure that the training course for members of planning boards and zoning boards of adjustment who are currently required to attend such training classes are delivered in both online and in-person formats. Other mandatory training programs, such as the training requirement imposed on campaign treasurers pursuant to N.J.S.19:44A-6, can be satisfied by completing an online training program. This bill will allow board members to become better trained without requiring them to take time out of a work day or a weekend.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Commissioner of Community Affairs to ensure that the mandatory training course for members of local planning boards and zoning boards of adjustment, which covers land use law and planning, is made available in both online and in-person formats within one year of the bill's enactment. This change aims to provide flexibility for board members, allowing them to complete their required training without necessarily needing to take time off from work or their weekends, similar to how other mandatory training programs, like those for campaign treasurers, can be fulfilled online.
