[First Reprint]
ASSEMBLY, No. 1792
with committee amendments
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: JUNE 5, 1997
The Senate Community Affairs Committee reports favorably, with committee amendments, Assembly Bill No. 1792 (1R).
Assembly Bill No. 1792 (1R), as amended by the committee, is special legislation, duly requested by the mayor and board of aldermen of the Town of Boonton, Morris County. This bill would establish a new town charter, as recommended by a charter study commission. The Town of Boonton currently operates under the town law, N.J.S.40A:62-1 et seq.
The committee amended the bill to reflect changes, requested by the Town of Boonton, to require that the first election to take place under the new charter be held at the general election of 1998. If enacted, the new charter will not take effect until adopted by ordinance by the Town of Boonton.
This bill, as amended, is identical to S-375, as amended by the committee on this date, and also released on this date.
