A 4295 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes New Jersey-India Commission.

This bill establishes the New Jersey-India Commission, a 35- to 45-member advisory body appointed by the Governor, to strengthen economic and cultural ties between New Jersey and India. The commission will focus on advancing trade and investment, promoting educational and cultural exchanges (including in science and technology), and studying policy issues for joint action. It operates without decision-making power, providing annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on its recommendations. The commission aims to support New Jersey’s large Indian-American community and its economic partnerships with India, building on existing ties like the 2019 trade mission that generated over 1,200 jobs.
