This bill amends the quorum requirements for the New Jersey Redevelopment Authority, changing the requirement from 11 members to a majority of the voting members. This adjustment aims to streamline decision-making processes within the authority. Additionally, the bill makes several technical corrections, including updating the terminology from "special needs districts" to "SDA districts" to align with the language used in the "Educational Facilities Construction and Financing Act," and replacing references to the Department of Commerce and Economic Development with the Department of Community Affairs.

The bill also clarifies the composition of the authority, specifying the roles of various commissioners and public members, and outlines the appointment process for these members. It ensures that the authority operates independently of the Department of Community Affairs while maintaining accountability through annual reports and audits. The changes are intended to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the authority in carrying out its essential governmental functions related to urban development in New Jersey.
