A 5849 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes New Jersey Government Restructuring and Modernization Commission.

This bill establishes the New Jersey Government Restructuring and Modernization Commission, a 15-member body tasked with reviewing state executive branch departments to identify duplicate services, inefficiencies, and opportunities for consolidation. The commission must submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature by March 1 each year, focusing on cost savings and improved service delivery while prohibiting layoffs - relying only on natural attrition and retirements for workforce adjustments. It includes representation from the executive branch, Legislature, frontline state employees (with 10+ years' service), and government reform experts to ensure balanced input. The commission will operate transparently with public meetings and an online portal for feedback, aiming to streamline government operations without disrupting public services. The commission expires after five years unless reauthorized.
