A 6082 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits government dealings with entities associated with Nigeria.

This bill prohibits New Jersey state agencies, local governments, and educational institutions from entering into contracts or providing benefits to entities engaged in specified activities related to Nigeria. It requires the Department of the Treasury to create and maintain a list of entities meeting four criteria: having Nigerian government equity, conducting business with Nigeria, being headquartered in Nigeria, or supporting groups that persecute Christians. Entities must certify they're not on the list before receiving government contracts or benefits, with false certifications resulting in $1 million penalties or three-year ineligibility. The bill also prohibits state pension funds from investing in such entities and bans state agencies from banking with or holding investments in financial institutions tied to Nigeria.
