This bill establishes a prohibition against State agencies assessing, imposing, or enforcing civil penalties on other State agencies or their divisions, boards, bureaus, or offices. The legislation aims to clarify that, regardless of existing laws, no civil penalties can be levied by one State agency against another, thereby preventing inter-agency penalties that could complicate governance and accountability.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment, addressing a gap in current law where no explicit prohibition exists against such actions. This change is intended to streamline operations within State agencies and ensure that penalties are not imposed in a manner that could hinder their functions or create conflicts between agencies.
