This bill aims to prohibit local government agencies in New Jersey from employing individuals who are currently on paid leave from a local government agency in another county or municipality. Specifically, it states that no local government agency can hire a person for either a full-time or part-time position if that individual is receiving paid leave from a similar position elsewhere. This measure is intended to uphold ethical standards within local government employment practices.

The bill supplements the existing Local Government Ethics Law and is set to take effect immediately upon enactment. By implementing this restriction, the legislation seeks to prevent potential conflicts of interest and ensure that local government positions are filled by individuals who are not simultaneously receiving compensation from other local government entities while on leave.
