S 370, the "Transparency in Government Act," requires New Jersey's State Treasurer to create a free, searchable website displaying detailed annual spending data for all state agencies, including exact amounts paid to vendors and employees, tax revenues, and bond debt information. It also mandates that public entities receiving state funds establish similar websites with comparable financial data.
