This bill amends existing legislation regarding the establishment and operation of regional rehabilitation and reentry centers in New Jersey. A key change is the replacement of the term "management committee" with "board of authority commissioners," which reflects a new governance structure. The bill outlines the responsibilities of this board, including the authority to create inter-county agreements, manage center operations, and oversee financial matters such as bond issuance and budget procedures. It also mandates that proposed inter-county agreements be submitted to the Local Finance Board for review, ensuring proper oversight.

Additionally, the bill allows two or more county governing bodies to create a regional authority through parallel ordinances or resolutions, formalizing the collaborative effort needed for its establishment. It introduces modifications to the application timeframes for the Local Finance Board, streamlining the process for the authority. The bill also permits a registered municipal accountant to conduct audits of the authority, enhancing accountability. Overall, these changes aim to improve the governance and operational efficiency of rehabilitation and reentry centers in New Jersey.
