Baroni’s Citizen Service Act Signed into Law

Legislation Makes It Easier for Citizens to Perform Public Service

Legislation sponsored by Senator Bill Baroni (R-14) that would make it easier for concerned citizens to participate in their municipal government has been signed into law. The measure, S-1426/A-2784, is meant to help residents find out what positions are available on local authorities, boards and commissions, and to make it easy to apply for appointments to positions that are vacant.

“With numerous municipal authorities, boards and commissions to follow, it can be difficult for citizens to keep track of how their local government operates,” said Baroni. “With rising property taxes, we need more citizen involvement and this groundbreaking legislation – written in a bi-partisan fashion – will ensure that people have the ability to apply and participate when there are vacancies in their local government.”
