New Jersey Revised Statutes § 32:11e-2 - Appointment Of Commissioners

32:11E-2. Appointment of commissioners
The commissioners for the State of New Jersey, provided for in Article V of the compact set out in section 1 hereof, shall be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate as follows: one resident each from the counties of Salem, Cumberland, Gloucester and Cape May, and two at-large commissioners each of whom shall be a resident of the area embraced by the counties of Salem, Cumberland, Gloucester and Cape May. Notwithstanding the aforementioned residency requirement, any commissioner from the State of New Jersey serving on the effective date of this 1989 amendatory act shall be eligible for reappointment regardless of that commissioner's place of residence. Immediately upon enactment of this act, the Governor may so appoint the first commissioners for the State of New Jersey, notwithstanding that the said compact may not have yet taken effect. The persons nominated by him to serve as the first commissioners shall be authorized to sign duplicate originals of said compact on the part of the State of New Jersey and to apply to Congress for such consent thereto as may be required by law, although they may not then have been confirmed or have taken their oaths of office.
