This bill mandates the Office of Information Technology to develop "Go NJ: The New Jersey Information Hub," an internet-based platform designed to centralize access to various state government services and information. The hub aims to streamline navigation through New Jersey's fragmented administrative structure, which includes numerous departments, agencies, authorities, and commissions. By integrating these entities into a single access point, the hub will facilitate easier retrieval of information related to business regulation, grants, taxation, environmental requirements, health and safety, and more, catering to users with varying levels of technical expertise.
The legislation emphasizes that the implementation of the Go NJ hub will not impose new regulatory or technology requirements on the political subdivisions involved. Additionally, the design of the system will consider interdependencies among existing tools and websites to ensure a seamless user experience, accommodating both mobile and traditional computer access. The Office of Information Technology is also tasked with assessing the costs associated with the development of this centralized platform.
