This bill mandates that State entities in New Jersey, which include departments, agencies, boards, commissions, corporations, authorities, and instrumentalities of the Executive Branch, must offer an optional electronic notification service for businesses. This service will allow businesses to receive legally required notices electronically, such as notices of violations, underpayment notifications, and employee unemployment claims. The bill stipulates that within 60 days of its effective date, each State entity must inform businesses under their jurisdiction about this optional service and provide the necessary information for them to opt in.
The act is set to take effect 90 days after its enactment, promoting a more efficient communication method between State entities and businesses. By facilitating electronic notifications, the bill aims to streamline the process of delivering important legal notices, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency of governmental operations and improving compliance for businesses operating in New Jersey.
