This bill establishes the Office of Labor Law Enforcement within the Department of Labor and Workforce Development in New Jersey. The office is tasked with overseeing, evaluating, and coordinating enforcement activities related to violations of state labor laws, which encompass issues such as wages, employment conditions, and the provision of benefits. The bill also mandates that the Attorney General assign deputy attorneys general to represent the department in legal proceedings concerning labor law violations, ensuring these attorneys are co-located with department personnel involved in enforcement.

Additionally, the bill requires the department to produce an annual public report detailing enforcement activities, personnel dedicated to enforcement, and financial aspects such as penalties collected and expenditures on enforcement. This report will also include recommendations for personnel adjustments, which the Governor must consider when developing the state budget for the following fiscal year. Furthermore, all fines and penalties collected under state labor laws will be allocated to cover the costs of enforcement and administration of these laws, including the expenses of the newly established Office of Labor Law Enforcement.
