The bill amends various sections of New Jersey law regarding the filing fees associated with corporate documents in the Department of the Treasury. Notably, it updates the fees for filing certificates of incorporation, amendments, mergers, and other corporate actions. For instance, the fee for filing the original certificate of incorporation is increased from $50.00 to $100.00, while the fee for filing a restated certificate of incorporation remains at $75.00. Additionally, the bill introduces a new fee structure for filing changes of address for registered agents, with a significant increase for filings affecting 500 or more corporations when submitted in a machine-readable format, which will cost $5,000.00.

Furthermore, the bill also revises the fees for limited partnerships and limited liability companies, maintaining some fees while adjusting others. For example, the fee for filing a certificate of formation for a limited liability company is set at $100.00, and the annual report fee is established at $75.00. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, allowing for a transition period for those affected by the changes in filing fees.
