AI Summary

This bill requires municipalities to either perform paving, repaving, or other road improvements on streets within qualified private communities that are either already accepted for public use or meet municipal standards for acceptance, or to provide financial reimbursement to these communities for such costs. A qualified private community refers to a residential community that is privately owned and maintained. The bill amends existing law to add paving as a service that municipalities must either provide or reimburse for, in addition to existing requirements for snow removal, street lighting (electricity costs only), and waste and recycling collection. However, municipalities are not obligated to provide these services on private roads that have not been accepted for public use or do not meet municipal standards, except for the width requirement. The Director of the Division of Local Government Services will adjust municipal budget calculations to account for these new paving costs.
