§ 18a:13-33.
a. Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.18A:13-33 or any other law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, if a proposal to add additional
purposes will convert a regional district from a limited purpose regional district
to an all purpose regional district, the proposal shall be submitted to the voters
of each of the constituent districts of the regional district instead of at large
to the voters of the regional district, and said proposal to convert a limited purpose
regional district to an all purpose regional district shall be considered adopted
if a majority of the voters in a majority of the constituent districts that constitute
the limited purpose regional district vote to form an all purpose regional district. Notwithstanding any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, a board of education
of a constituent district of a limited purpose regional district that does not vote
to join an all purpose regional district pursuant to the provisions of this subsection
may continue to send such students as were enrolled in the limited purpose regional
district to the schools that were established as part of the limited purpose regional
district. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting a limited purpose regional
district from seeking to add to the purposes for which the limited purpose regional
district was created pursuant to the process established under N.J.S.18A:13-33 . b. Notwithstanding any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, if a proposal to
add additional purposes to a limited purpose regional district is adopted pursuant
to the provisions of subsection a. of this section, the constituent districts constituting
the limited purpose regional district shall calculate and apportion the membership
of the board of education of the newly formed all purpose regional district upon the
basis of a proportional number of pupils enrolled from each constituent district that
constitutes the limited purpose regional district, including any district that does
not vote to join the all purpose regional district and continues to send students
to the schools of the limited purpose regional district pursuant to subsection a.
of this section. However, each constituent district, including any district that does not vote to
join the all purpose regional district and continues to send students to the schools
of the limited purpose regional district pursuant to subsection a. of this section,
shall have at least one member. A constituent district that does not vote to join the all purpose regional district
but retains membership on the board of education of the newly formed all purpose regional
district pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall be eligible to vote on
any matter before the all purpose regional board of education on which a member of
the board of education of a sending district is eligible to vote on before a receiving
board of education as provided in section 1 of P.L.1995, c. 8 ( C.18A:38-8.1 ).
