Bill Summary
This bill provides that, for the purposes of N.J.S.40A:10-6, which provides for the establishment of insurance funds by the governing body of any local unit under certain circumstances, "local unit" means a county, municipality, board of education, county college, county vocational school, and any municipal authority. Under current law, a board of education is permitted to participate in a county insurance fund under N.J.S.A.18A-18A-2 and a municipal insurance fund under N.J.S.A.40A:10-6.1 and N.J.S.A.40A:10-52 (as well as N.J.S.A.40A:10-53, -54, and -55 with regard to participation by all-purpose regional school districts, consolidated school districts, and limited-purpose school districts). A county vocational school district is permitted to participate in a county insurance fund under N.J.S.A.40A:10-56 and N.J.S.A.40A:10-57. A county college is permitted to participate in a county insurance fund under N.J.S.A.18A:64A-25.40; however, there is no current statutory authority for a county college to participate in a municipal insurance fund. Similarly, there is no current statutory authority for a municipal authority to participate in a county or municipal insurance fund. This bill would collect all such local units under a single statute and provide the authority for participation in such insurance funds.
AI Summary
This bill expands the range of local units eligible to join an insurance fund established by a municipality or county under certain circumstances. The bill provides that for the purposes of establishing an insurance fund, "local unit" now includes counties, municipalities, boards of education, county colleges, county vocational schools, and municipal authorities. Previously, while boards of education, county vocational schools, and county colleges could participate in county or municipal insurance funds, there was no explicit statutory authority for county colleges and municipal authorities to do so. This bill consolidates the local units that can participate in such insurance funds under a single statute.
