What is a requirement for amending a budget without advertising?

Amending a budget without advertising in New Jersey is often closely regulated, and a key requirement is that the new appropriation must exceed 1% of total appropriations. This provision allows for minor adjustments to be made more efficiently without the need for re-advertising, which can be a lengthy process. The rationale behind setting this threshold is to ensure that only relatively small changes can be made easily, while larger budget modifications require greater scrutiny and public notice, thus maintaining transparency in governmental fiscal practices.

The other conditions mentioned, such as needing a two-thirds majority or limitations on time or alterations to original goals, do not specifically relate to the provision that permits amendments without the need for advertising. These requirements are significant in their own right and pertain to various procedural standards for handling budgetary changes in a municipal context. However, they do not directly address the criteria for how minor amendments can pass without undergoing the complete advertising process.
