Requires municipalities to file copies of tax abatement and exemption agreements with county chief financial officer and county counsel within 10 days of execution.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires New Jersey municipalities to submit copies of all property tax abatement and exemption agreements to their county chief financial officer and county counsel within 10 days of signing. It directly affects local governments that grant short-term property tax breaks to developers or businesses. The key change shifts filing from the state Division of Local Government Services to county-level officials, while maintaining the existing requirement for municipalities to annually report tax exemption amounts to county officials by October 1. The bill updates existing law (P.L.1991, c.441) to streamline county oversight of these financial agreements.

Creates exemption from certain MVC fees for prisoners of war.

Maddy summaryThis bill removes restrictions on motor vehicle registration fee exemptions for prisoners of war (POWs) and expands eligibility to include their spouses and surviving spouses. It eliminates the current limit of one vehicle per applicant, allowing POWs, their spouses (if married during captivity), and surviving spouses (who haven't remarried) to exempt multiple vehicles from MVC registration fees. The policy change applies to all active and reserve military members held as POWs, as certified by New Jersey’s Department of Military and Veterans’ Affairs. Existing P.O.W. license plate provisions remain unchanged, but the fee exemption now covers registration costs for qualifying vehicles.

Concerns workers' compensation insurance requirements for certain corporations and partnerships.

Maddy summaryThis bill revises New Jersey's workers' compensation law to clarify that S corporations with only one owner (who is also the sole employee) are not required to provide workers' compensation coverage for that owner unless they specifically choose to do so. The corporation must elect coverage at the time of purchasing or renewing a workers' comp policy, and this election cannot be changed during the policy term. As a result, the sole owner of such an S corporation is not automatically considered an "employee" for workers' comp purposes. The change applies to all policies issued 180 days after the bill's enactment.

Labor & EmploymentOpposes Labor & EmploymentBill removes automatic workers' comp coverage for sole S corp owners, making it optional instead of mandatory, weakening a key worker protection.92% confidence

Revises individual cause of action under consumer fraud act.

Maddy summaryThis bill revises New Jersey's Consumer Fraud Act to clarify when consumers can sue businesses for deceptive practices. It requires consumers to first send a written demand to the seller to resolve the issue before filing a lawsuit, and to have been aware of and relied on the fraudulent practice. The bill also prevents attorney fees from being awarded for minor "technical violations" (such as unintentional errors that didn’t harm products or cause financial loss) and limits the law’s scope to New Jersey residents or in-state transactions. Additionally, it ensures the law doesn’t apply to cases already regulated by the Federal Trade Commission or other state/federal agencies.
