On June 24, Governor Murphy signed A-5590/S-3819 (Mazzeo, Armato, Greenwald/Sweeney, Beach) which extends the state's control of Atlantic City for an additional four years. The State control had been set to end it's control this year.
The state has the power to assume key functions, including renegotiating union contracts, hiring and firing employees, selling city assets, and reversing decisions of the city council. State control was enacted in 2016 and designed to assist the city in avoiding bankruptcy.
