[First Reprint]

SENATE, No. 762  

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  DECEMBER 14, 2023

      The Assembly State and Local Government Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 762 (1R).

      This bill revises the manner by which a tax collector may become certified in the collection of property taxes in municipalities that operate on the State fiscal year budget cycle, rather than on a calendar year budget cycle.

      The bill revises the process for certification as a tax collector for State fiscal year municipalities by allowing a candidate to simply take an additional State fiscal year tax collection course, established by the Director of the Division of Local Government Services in the Department of Community Affairs, in order to attain that certification.

      As reported by the committee, this bill is identical to Assembly Bill No. 3786, which was amended and also reported by the committee on this same date.
