This bill amends the membership structure of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority by increasing the total number of appointed members from 13 to 19. Currently, the authority consists of the State Treasurer, the President of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, a member of the Hackensack Meadowlands Municipal Committee, 11 members appointed by the Governor, one member appointed by the President of the Senate, and one member appointed by the Speaker of the General Assembly. The proposed changes will add two members appointed by each of these three officials, thereby expanding the authority's capacity for representation and governance.
The bill also includes specific legal language changes, such as the deletion of the previous count of 11 members appointed by the Governor and the insertion of the new total of 13 members appointed by the Governor, along with the additional members from the Senate and Assembly leadership. This restructuring aims to enhance the authority's effectiveness in fulfilling its public and governmental functions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
