STATEMENT TO

 

ASSEMBLY, No. 4992

 

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

 

DATED:  FEBRUARY 22, 2021

 

      The Assembly State and Local Government Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 4992.

     This bill would permit two or more adjoining counties to enter into an agreement to share a county tax administrator and clerical assistants pursuant to the provisions of the "Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act," sections 1 through 35 of P.L.2007, c.63 (C.40A:65-1 through C.40A:65-35).

     The bill would also allow the parties to the shared service agreement to fix an annual salary for a shared county tax administrator and clerical assistants commensurate with the combined population of the participating counties and consistent with the minimum salary requirement provisions set forth in R.S.54:3-8.

      As reported by the committee, this bill is identical to Senate Bill No. 446, which the committee also reported on this date.
