Establishes New Jersey Government Restructuring and Modernization Commission.
This bill establishes the New Jersey Government Restructuring and Modernization Commission, a 15-member body tasked with reviewing the state's executive branch departments and agencies to identify inefficiencies, redundancies, and opportunities for better coordination. The commission - comprising the Lieutenant Governor as chair, legislative members, career public employees with 10+ years of service, and government reform experts - will develop recommendations for streamlining operations without mandating layoffs, relying instead on natural attrition and retirements. It must submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature by March 1, starting in the year after enactment, and hold public meetings with online feedback via a dedicated portal. The commission will operate for five years unless reauthorized, focusing on data-driven improvements to reduce costs while preserving essential public services.
