Requires Executive Branch departments, agencies, and instrumentalities to identify and assess COVID-19 measures and their viability for future potential emergency scenarios.
This bill requires all New Jersey state agencies to catalog pandemic-era actions taken during the COVID-19 emergency - including regulations, policies, and emergency directives - and evaluate how effectively they could be used in future crises. It mandates that agencies assess these measures' relevance for future emergencies and update or adopt them for rapid response. Agencies must submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature (starting one year after the bill takes effect), detailing these assessments and recommendations, with all reports made publicly available online. The law directly affects state agencies responsible for emergency management, public health, and related functions.
