Maddy summaryBill A 3112 requires public water systems in New Jersey to send written notices to customers within 30 days if PFAS (certain chemicals in drinking water) levels exceed safety limits. Notices must explain health risks, link to a state educational program, and include details about contamination status. Landlords must distribute these notices to tenants within three business days and post them prominently in rental properties. The bill also mandates annual website updates from water systems with mitigation progress until contamination is resolved.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A 1312) requires New Jersey paid and part-paid fire departments to create and annually update a written policy addressing job-related needs of pregnant firefighters within 180 days of the bill's effective date. The policy must cover disclosure of pregnancy, medical certifications for duty limitations, availability of light-duty assignments, information on unsafe tasks, pregnancy leave use, and continued benefits. Departments must follow standards from the National Fire Protection Association or similar professional organizations when developing the policy. The bill was withdrawn on January 13, 2026, as it was superseded by another enacted bill (P.L.2025, c.192) that already addressed these requirements.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A3446) requires New Jersey's Governor, Senate President, Speaker of the General Assembly, or other authorized officials to prioritize racial and gender diversity when appointing members to state boards, commissions, or similar bodies established by law. It mandates that appointing authorities consider achieving a membership reflecting the state's racial and gender makeup as a "primary consideration" for all appointments made after the bill takes effect. The requirement applies unless it conflicts with specific circumstances of the appointment or the original law creating the body. The bill defines "gender" to include gender identity and "race" as major groupings based on physical characteristics or ancestry. The bill is currently pending in the Assembly Community Development and Women's Affairs Committee and has not yet become law.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A 1940) required manufacturers of menstrual products sold in New Jersey to list all non-confidential ingredients on product packaging and their websites, with ingredients ordered by quantity. It applied to all menstrual products - like tampons, pads, cups, and underwear - packaged for individual retail sale, giving manufacturers 18 months to comply after the law took effect. Manufacturers could exclude confidential business information but had to list it by common name. Non-compliant products faced civil penalties of up to $1,000 per package, based on 1% of annual in-state sales. The bill was withdrawn after being approved as P.L.2025, c.232 and enacted into law.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A 3445) requires publicly held corporations with their principal office in New Jersey to have boards of directors that reflect the racial and gender diversity of New Jersey by December 31, 2021. Corporations must use the most recent U.S. Census data to determine compliance, can add directors to meet the requirement, and must annually report director demographics to the Secretary of State. Failure to comply results in civil penalties of $100,000 for the first violation and $300,000 for subsequent violations. The Secretary of State must also annually report on compliance, corporate relocations, and companies no longer subject to the law.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends New Jersey's Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS) to extend death and disability benefits to members injured or killed while on active military duty (federal or state). It defines members on such duty - ordered by the President for federal service or the Governor for state service - as "active members" for benefit purposes, ensuring they qualify for the same death benefits as if actively serving in their department. The amendment covers both death benefits for survivors (including lump-sum payments) and disability retirement benefits for members disabled during military service. This directly affects PFRS members who serve in the military while retaining their retirement system eligibility.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A-2540, "Cancer Patient Care and Compassion Act") requires health insurance plans and Medicaid in New Jersey to cover specific cancer treatments without cost-sharing for patients with Stage III, IV, or terminal cancer. It mandates coverage for parenteral treatments (like IV medications), survivorship care plans, and other services determined by regulators. The bill also adds protections: mortgage lenders must pause foreclosure during active treatment, creditors cannot initiate collections, and tenants facing eviction can request a 45-day stay with physician certification. These provisions directly affect cancer patients and their families by removing financial barriers to care and preventing housing/financial instability during treatment. The bill is pending before the Assembly Financial Institutions and Insurance Committee.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a grant program through New Jersey's Economic Development Authority to attract emerging technology businesses to designated urban areas. It provides grants covering cloud computing service costs for qualifying businesses that locate or maintain headquarters in specific "urban technology zones" (like Newark, Trenton, or certain cities meeting population criteria). To qualify, businesses must have 100 or fewer full-time employees, show 20% growth in staff or revenue, and commit to keeping their U.S. headquarters in the zone for five years total (two years during the grant period plus three additional years). The program aims to boost job creation and economic growth in New Jersey's urban cores by incentivizing tech companies to use cloud-based services.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) to create a quality-based reimbursement system for registered family child care providers who participate in both the state's subsidized child care program and the Grow NJ Kids quality initiative. It directs DHS to provide enhanced payments to these providers based on their quality ratings within the Grow NJ Kids system. The bill mandates DHS to seek necessary federal waivers to maintain funding for subsidized child care programs serving low-to-moderate income families. This directly affects registered family child care providers enrolled in Grow NJ Kids who serve subsidized families. The key mechanism is a tiered payment structure tied to quality ratings, replacing the previous reimbursement approach.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires New Jersey courts to translate key criminal court documents - including indictments, pleadings, and motions - into the primary language of defendants, witnesses, or legal guardians with limited English proficiency. It mandates the Administrative Office of the Courts to develop policies for translating documents into nine specific languages widely spoken in the state (including Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and Haitian Creole) and to post multilingual signs in courthouses informing people of their right to language assistance. The policy aims to ensure individuals with limited English proficiency can understand court proceedings and exercise their legal rights. The bill directly affects people navigating criminal cases who may face barriers due to language differences.
