The Ease of Doing Government Business Act mandates that all State and local government entities in New Jersey, which provide direct services to the public, conduct a comprehensive review of their operations within 180 days of the bill's enactment. This review aims to identify methods to streamline and expedite government transactions, including the issuance of licenses, permits, and certifications. Additionally, the heads of these entities are required to perform annual reviews of their transactional services to enhance efficiency, reduce redundancies, and eliminate waste, while ensuring compliance with existing legal obligations.
Furthermore, the bill encourages the implementation of online resources and automated services to improve the efficiency of service delivery. These technologies must utilize plain language and provide clear instructions to facilitate user understanding. The Act also establishes mechanisms for public feedback on transaction experiences, which government entities must review within 30 days and consider for future service improvements. Overall, the legislation seeks to enhance the responsiveness and efficiency of government services in New Jersey.
