S 895 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Deactivates certain committees, councils, panels, and task forces of advisory or temporary nature if entity does not meet or have quorum at least once every year.

New Jersey bill S 895 automatically deactivates advisory or temporary government bodies (like committees or task forces) if they fail to hold a meeting with a required number of members present at least once every year. The Secretary of State must annually review meeting records to identify inactive bodies, terminating all member appointments and prohibiting these bodies from using state employees or resources. This applies only to bodies created by law for advisory or temporary purposes, streamlining government operations by eliminating dormant entities. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
