Requires settlement agreements concerning equal employment opportunity to be approved by NJT board of directors.
This bill requires the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ Transit) to obtain board of directors approval before entering any settlement agreement related to workplace discrimination or equal employment opportunity complaints. Currently, NJ Transit's bylaws only mandate board approval for settlements exceeding $500,000, but this bill expands that requirement to all such settlements. NJ Transit must also submit an annual report detailing all approved settlements, comparing them to previous years' data, and identifying the affected departments - this report must be published online and shared with the Governor and Legislature. The bill takes effect immediately, aiming to increase transparency and oversight of discrimination-related resolutions.
