Primary A 2040
Signed into law · New Jersey House · Lead sponsor
Requires Commissioner of Human Services to request authorization for SNAP benefits to be used to pay delivery charges for online grocery purchases.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A-2040) requires New Jersey's Human Services Commissioner to request that the federal USDA allow SNAP (food stamp) benefits to cover delivery fees for online grocery orders. It directly affects low-income households in New Jersey who receive SNAP benefits and shop online through authorized retailers like Amazon, Walmart, ShopRite, and The Fresh Grocers. The key provision changes how SNAP funds can be used - permitting them to pay delivery charges for SNAP-eligible groceries, which was previously prohibited under federal rules. The bill was enacted into law (P.L.2023, c.236) after passing both legislative chambers unanimously.

Requires MVC to provide customer service telephone number at motor vehicle inspection facilities.

Maddy summaryThis bill (NJ A1581) requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to prominently display a toll-free customer service phone number at all official vehicle inspection facilities. It directly affects vehicle owners who use these facilities by providing a clear way to report technical issues they encounter during inspections. The key provision mandates that MVC display this number conspicuously, allowing customers to call and report problems directly to the commission. The law took effect immediately upon approval.

Permits excused absences for students who attend civic events.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A1271) allows public school students in grades 6-12 to have one excused absence per school year to attend approved civic events. It defines "civic events" as those sponsored by government, community organizations, or nonprofits addressing public concerns like health, safety, or environmental issues. Students must have parental written notice at least five school days in advance, and school districts must provide guidance on qualifying events. The law specifies that transcripts and attendance records must not list these absences as excused.

Passed · New Jersey Senate · Lead sponsor
Revises number of qualified disabled veterans' businesses required to designate set-aside contract from three to two.

Maddy summaryThis bill changes New Jersey's requirement for designating set-aside contracts for disabled veterans' businesses, reducing the number of qualified businesses needed from three to two. It directly affects state contracting agencies and disabled veterans' businesses by making it easier to qualify for these set-aside contracts, which reserve work for veteran-owned businesses. The change aligns New Jersey's standard with federal guidelines and neighboring states, addressing challenges caused by the low number of registered disabled veterans' businesses in the state. The amendment modifies existing law to allow set-asides when at least two qualified businesses can bid fairly on the contract.
