    Identical to S 82, filed 2/8/23.

    Repeals Section 2.7 of the Charter of the Town of Bridgeton (SL 1989-621), which sets forth quorum requirements for the Town’s Board of Commissioners. (Currently, the charter provides that a quorum consists of a majority of the actual membership of the Board of Commissioners, with vacant seats to be subtracted from the normal board membership to determine actual membership. Official action of the board can only occur if there is quorum and a majority vote occurs.)  Also amends Section 2.3 of the town charter to make terms gender neutral.
