The bill amends R.S.4:24-18 to authorize soil conservation districts in New Jersey to have a governing body consisting of at least five supervisors, as appointed by the State Soil Conservation Committee. Additionally, the bill allows the State Soil Conservation Committee to determine the maximum number of supervisors for each district, thereby providing flexibility in the governance structure of these districts.

The previous requirement of having exactly five supervisors has been removed, allowing for a potentially larger governing body to better address the needs of each district. This change aims to enhance the effectiveness and responsiveness of soil conservation efforts in New Jersey. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
