New Jersey Statutes, Title: 40, MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTIES
Chapter 43: Every municipality a body corporate
Section: 40:43-66.78: Findings, declarations relative to consolidation of sparsely populated municipalities
1. The Legislature finds and declares that the consolidation of sparsely populated municipalities into contiguous municipalities having larger populations should be encouraged as a means to reduce the costs of local government. The Legislature also finds that there should be a simplified consolidation process when a municipality seeking consolidation is sparsely populated and when the resulting consolidated municipality will have the same form of government as the municipality absorbing the sparsely populated municipality.
L.1995,c.376,s.1.
