A 1364 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits business receiving State development subsidies from making certain campaign contributions.

This bill prohibits businesses receiving New Jersey state development subsidies of $25,000 or more from making campaign contributions to political candidates, parties, or committees during the subsidy period. It also bans officers, directors, key employees, or agents of these businesses from making such contributions, though candidates may contribute to their own campaigns. Violations could result in criminal fines (up to $200,000 for individuals, $500,000 for businesses) or civil penalties like losing the subsidy, future eligibility for state funding, or a five-year ban on state contracts. The prohibition applies broadly to subsidies like grants, loans, and tax credits, but excludes certain programs like affordable housing or environmental initiatives.
