5-18-10 S1287 & A2573 Legislation slated for a vote in the Senate and Assembly Thursday, May 20
It is probable these identical bills will be passed on May 20 and signed into law soon: S1287 ( Van Drew, Sarlo, Kean), and identical bill A2573 (O’Scanlon, Polistina), making position of treasurer of school moneys optional.
SENATE No. 1287 - ASSEMBLY, No. 2573 STATE OF NEW JERSEY DATED: MAY 13, 2010 The Assembly Education Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 2573. This bill makes the position of treasurer of school moneys optional for a school district. If the district determines not to have a treasurer of school moneys, the duties would be carried out by the board secretary, since many of the secretary's functions already overlap those of the treasurer. Provision is made in the bill for checks to be co-signed by the chief school administrator or a board appointee if the district does not have a treasurer of school moneys. Under current law the custodian of the moneys of the municipality serves as the treasurer of school moneys in a school district, unless the board of education designates the tax collector of the municipality to hold the position. If both the custodian of the moneys of the municipality and the tax collector of the municipality submit written notifications to the board that they do not wish to serve as the treasurer of school moneys, then the board must appoint another suitable person. Under the provision of this bill, if a school district determines to appoint a person to the position of treasurer of school moneys, the board may appoint any suitable person, other than a member of the board of education or an employee of the district. This legislation is to take effect immediately.
