Creates Office of Nonprofit Ombudsperson in Department of Treasury; appropriates $329,000.
S 3785 creates an independent Office of Nonprofit Ombudsperson within the New Jersey Department of Treasury to assist nonprofits interacting with state agencies. The ombudsperson, appointed by the Governor, will monitor state agencies' compliance with a public nonprofit information portal, provide technical assistance, investigate complaints, and develop better procurement practices for nonprofits. This office, funded with $329,000 from the General Fund, directly serves nonprofit organizations in New Jersey and requires state agencies to maintain accessible online resource hubs. The bill amends existing law to mandate annual reporting on agency compliance with these requirements.
