Requires professional services contract for legal services on behalf of State agency be memorialized in writing within 30 days.

New Jersey's bill A1433 requires state agencies to put all legal services contracts in writing within 30 days of agreeing with a law firm. This directly affects state agencies that hire outside legal counsel, mandating written contracts before payment can be made. The key provision specifies that agencies cannot pay for legal services without a written contract finalized within the 30-day window. The rule applies specifically to legal services contracts, not other professional services.
