"Ease of Doing Government Business Act;" requires State and local government entities to simplify procedures and expedite government transactions.
The "Ease of Doing Government Business Act" requires all New Jersey state and local government entities (like departments issuing licenses, permits, or certifications) to review and simplify their public-facing processes. Within 180 days of the law taking effect, these entities must identify steps to streamline services, reduce redundancies, and cut processing times - repeating this annual review. They must also implement user-friendly online tools with plain language, multilingual options where possible, and systems for citizens to submit feedback on their service experiences, which must be reviewed within 30 days. The bill directly affects government agencies handling public transactions and aims to make interactions faster and clearer.
