S 3481 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Creates task force to study feasibility of paperless State government.

S 3481 establishes a 15-member task force to study whether New Jersey's Executive Branch can transition to a paperless government. The task force includes state officials (like the Secretary of State and Cybersecurity Director) and appointed public members with expertise in IT, cybersecurity, elections, and electronic transactions. It will examine specific areas including cybersecurity risks, technology options, cost-benefit analysis for upgrades, legal changes needed, and the feasibility of paperless permits and records retention. The bill does not implement paperless systems but directs the task force to report findings to the legislature. This study directly affects state agencies that handle government operations and records.
