Rep. Bill Moen

Maddy summaryThis bill requires New Jersey's Department of Children and Families (DCF) to create a digital "child care finder" tool using $3.6 million in state funding. The tool will help parents and caregivers search for licensed child care centers and registered family providers by location, program type, hours, fees, and availability, with map-based and filter features. Child care providers must display detailed profiles on the tool showing license info, capacity, fees, accepted subsidies, and inspection results. The system must be secure, accessible, and allow direct enrollment and payments through the platform.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a three-year Remote Methadone Dosing Pilot Program in New Jersey, appropriating $225,000 total. It selects one opioid treatment program (OTP) each in Atlantic City, Camden, and Paterson to test using telehealth for remote monitoring of patients receiving take-home methadone doses, under federal/state rules and clinical appropriateness. Participating OTFs must report annually on patient outcomes, treatment compliance, cost savings (like reduced transportation), and retention. The program aims to evaluate whether remote dosing improves treatment access and reduces costs, with a final report due to the Governor and Legislature within four years.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A4589) allows organizations licensed to operate bingo, raffles, and penny auctions in New Jersey to accept credit cards, debit cards, or other electronic payments for ticket or share purchases. It directly affects licensed venues (like community centers or nonprofits) that host these games and their participants. The bill requires the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission to create new regulations enabling electronic payments, updating current law which only permitted cash transactions. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.

Maddy summaryThis bill authorizes New Jersey to issue special "250th Anniversary Revolutionary War" license plates for motor vehicles. Vehicle owners would pay a $50 one-time application fee plus a $10 annual renewal fee, with all additional fees deposited into a dedicated fund to support preservation of Revolutionary War sites across the state. The program requires 500 initial applications and $25,000 in private funding before implementation, and expires if these conditions aren't met within 12 months.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a 3-year pilot program allowing solar energy projects on state-owned land adjacent to roads (within 30-100 feet of the road centerline), subject to strict safety and capacity limits. It permits projects up to 10 megawatts each, with a total program cap of 200 megawatts, requiring approval from New Jersey’s Board of Public Utilities and Transportation Department. Projects must maintain traffic flow, avoid safety hazards, minimize environmental impacts, and include decommissioning plans. The program includes specific evaluation criteria like traffic safety monitoring, stormwater management, and project size, with potential for a 24-month extension. If successful, the pilot would transition to a permanent program after 36 months.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A6220) requires all revenue from casino hotel parking fees in Atlantic City to be directed entirely to the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA), rather than splitting funds as previously done. It expands the CRDA's permitted uses for these funds to include projects improving highways, roads, infrastructure, traffic regulation, public safety, and economic development in Atlantic City. The bill directly affects CRDA's funding allocation and the scope of projects it can support within Atlantic City. This change streamlines funding for city infrastructure and development initiatives previously funded through a split revenue system.

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a proportional property tax exemption for New Jersey veterans who are honorably discharged and have a service-connected permanent disability rated at 10% or higher. It directly affects qualifying veterans (and their surviving spouses) by reducing their property taxes in line with their disability rating, with a $10,000 cap for exemptions below 100% disability. Veterans deemed unemployable due to service-connected disability receive a full 100% exemption, matching current benefits for those with 100% disability ratings. The bill also requires the state to reimburse municipalities 102% of the tax costs for these exemptions, including administrative expenses, through annual reporting by local tax authorities.

Maddy summaryThis bill appropriates $13.64 million from constitutionally dedicated corporation business tax revenues to fund conservation and recreation projects through New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection. The funds will be distributed as grants to nonprofit organizations for open space acquisition ($8.35 million), park development ($2.13 million), and stewardship activities ($1.48 million), plus $1 million for a new planning grant program to help nonprofits prepare conservation plans. The grants support land conservation and recreation initiatives across multiple counties and municipalities throughout New Jersey. All funding decisions require approval from the Joint Budget Oversight Committee, and the program is funded from revenues specifically dedicated to open space preservation under New Jersey law.

Maddy summaryThis bill establishes a new "alternative compliance payment" (ACP) option for electric power suppliers in New Jersey. Instead of meeting Class II renewable energy generation requirements directly, suppliers may pay a set dollar amount per megawatt hour to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities. The ACP mechanism applies specifically to Class II renewable energy targets under existing law (P.L.1999, c.23), providing a financial alternative to generating renewable power. This change directly affects electricity providers who choose this payment method to comply with state renewable energy mandates.

Maddy summaryThis bill (A6080) provides $600,000 in supplemental state funding to Joseph's House of Camden, a nonprofit organization. The funds are specifically designated to support shelter and related services for people experiencing homelessness in Camden County. The appropriation is added to the existing 2025-2026 budget under Social Services Programs (line 05-8050) and will be used immediately for operational costs. This direct funding supports Joseph's House in expanding its capacity to assist homeless residents, primarily affecting vulnerable individuals and families in Camden.
