TRENTON — Gov. Sherrill signed three bills into law Tuesday, including a measure that authorizes candidates and officeholders to spend campaign funds on security, the governor's office said.

According to the governor's office, the campaign finance law allows campaign money to be used for security expenses for a candidate or officeholder, their staff and certain family members. The office's summary did not say which family members are covered or what kinds of security spending are allowed.

The governor also signed the "New Jersey History Day Act." The release gave the bill's title but did not describe what it does.

A third law allows money from the state's Green Acres program to fully fund certain projects carried out by certain nonprofit organizations on state-owned land, the governor's office said. The summary did not identify the organizations or projects that would qualify.

The governor's office announced the bill signings in a brief statement listing each measure and its legislative sponsors. It did not include comments from the governor or say when the new laws take effect.
