This bill amends R.S.4:24-18 to allow soil conservation districts in New Jersey to have more than five supervisors. The new legal language specifies that each district must have "at least five supervisors" appointed by the State Soil Conservation Committee, which will also have the authority to determine the maximum number of supervisors for each district. This change replaces the previous stipulation that limited the number of supervisors to five.
The bill aims to enhance the governance of soil conservation districts by providing flexibility in the number of supervisors, potentially allowing for more diverse representation and expertise. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
