What changed in the latest version
12 added · 34 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment modifies R.S.4:24-18 to clarify that the governing body of the district must have at least five supervisors appointed by the State Soil Conservation Committee, but it also allows the Committee to set a maximum number of supervisors for each district. This change matters because it establishes a clear minimum requirement while providing flexibility for the State Soil Conservation Committee to determine the appropriate size of the governing body based on district needs.
