S 460 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State agencies to review operations and to implement use of Internet to conduct public business when cost savings may be realized, with certain exceptions.

This bill requires all New Jersey state agencies (including executive, legislative, and judicial branches) to complete a six-month review of their operations to identify cost-saving opportunities through increased internet use - such as email, online forms, and digital payments - for public business. Agencies must examine functions like communication with the public, filing reports, and handling payments to determine where internet-based methods could reduce costs. The bill explicitly preserves existing requirements for certified mail and newspaper notices, ensuring those methods remain available where legally mandated. Agencies must implement internet solutions in feasible cases where cost savings are identified, but the law does not create new services or alter existing rules beyond this review and implementation process.
