S 866 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Suspends fines for certain first-time paperwork violations committed by small businesses.

S 866 suspends fines for first-time paperwork violations committed by small businesses in New Jersey. A "small business" is defined as one with 50 or fewer full-time employees or meeting federal small business criteria. The suspension does not apply if the violation could cause serious harm, involves tax/revenue collection, wasn't corrected within six months, or poses a public safety risk (though for safety risks, a fine may be avoided if the violation is corrected within 24 hours). This bill directly affects small businesses and state agencies enforcing paperwork compliance.
