Bill overview
This bill would allow New Jersey counties to charge residents a fee, approved by voters, to fund infrastructure construction projects. The bill aims to address the state’s aging infrastructure and insufficient state funding for these projects. It establishes a ‘County Self-Help Infrastructure Act’ and outlines procedures for counties to request and receive voter approval for implementing such fees. The bill draws inspiration from similar initiatives in other states, such as Alabama and California.
