Administrative History
The Office for Local Government was established by Chapter 335 of the Laws of 1959. The main purpose of this office was to assist the governor in formulating policies to address the issues and problems of local government. Several chapters of the Laws of 1960 broadened the mandate of the office to include municipal police training (Chapter 320), and to assume the functions of the former Division of Safety (Chapter 321) and the State Board of Equalization and Assessment (Chapter 335). In 1975, the Office for Local Government was abolished (Chapter 464) and its functions were transferred to the Department of State, Division of Community Affairs.
