A 5624 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Division of Consumer Affairs to create open data portal and provide certain datasets online.

This bill requires New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to create and maintain an open data portal on its website, providing public access to non-confidential licensing and complaint data. It directly affects consumers, businesses, and professionals seeking licensing information by making statistics like application volumes, processing times, active licenses by county, exam pass rates, and complaint resolution times publicly available. The portal must update annually and allow sorting by profession and year-over-year comparisons, while complying with privacy laws to exclude non-disclosable data. The bill focuses on increasing transparency of existing division-collected data, not creating new regulatory requirements.
