Bill > S1389

This bill allows counties to change the titles of their governing bodies and elected officials to reflect modern terminology. Specifically, it permits a "board of chosen freeholders" to adopt the title "board of county commissioners," and the terms "freeholder" and "chosen freeholder" can be changed to "county commissioner." This change can be made by a resolution passed by the board. If a county makes these title changes, they are required to update their official website within 45 days of adopting the resolution. The bill amends existing laws that define these terms and govern county administration, ensuring that the new titles are recognized and that the transition is properly documented online.
