Bill Summary

This bill increases the membership of the Government Records Council (GRC) from five to seven members. Currently, the GRC consists of five members: the Commissioner of Community Affairs; the Commissioner of Education; and three public members appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. This bill would add one seat on the council for the President of the Municipal Clerks' Association of New Jersey, who is a tenured, actively employed municipal clerk, and one seat for a public member. As a result, the membership of government officers would increase from two to three, the public membership would increase from three to four, and the council would continue to have one more public member than government officer members.
