Debars permanently from government contracting any person convicted of certain crimes involving government contracts.

This bill permanently bars individuals convicted of fraud-related crimes involving government contracts (specifically under N.J.S.A. 2C:21-34) from contracting with New Jersey government agencies or serving as key employees (e.g., executives, managers) for any contractor or affiliate working with the government. Contractors must provide written certification confirming they and their key employees are not barred, and the State Treasurer will maintain a public online list of permanently debarred individuals. Exceptions allow emergency contracts if certification is provided within two weeks, and the rule does not apply to federal supply schedule purchases. The law applies to all state and local government contracting agencies, including departments, universities, and counties.
