Requires Governor to appoint Chief Accountability Officer to supervise all State ombudsmen, compliance officers, comptrollers, and other officers with substantially similar positions.

This bill creates a new position for a Chief Accountability Officer within the Governor's Office, appointed by the Governor with Senate approval for five-year terms. The officer will directly supervise 17 specific state oversight roles - including ombudsmen, auditors, and compliance officers across departments like Transportation, Education, and Human Services - to ensure their work aligns with state laws and professional standards. Key mechanisms include requiring regular coordination meetings to prevent duplicated efforts, optimize resources, and standardize reporting. The bill affects all 17 listed oversight positions and their agencies, aiming to improve consistency in accountability across New Jersey state government. The officer must submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature, making findings public.
