Establishes list of essential employees for purposes of travel during state of emergency.

This New Jersey bill creates an official list of essential employees to help determine who may travel freely during a state of emergency. The State Office of Emergency Management will maintain this list after reviewing submissions from public and private entities that identify workers whose roles are critical to public safety or infrastructure. Once included on the list, these individuals, such as first responders and other designated staff, can access restricted areas to perform necessary duties. The bill also ensures that the personal information submitted for the list remains confidential and is only shared for emergency verification purposes.
