This bill mandates that the Attorney General of New Jersey must publish specific information on their Internet website regarding any legal actions taken against the federal government. The required information includes the type of legal action, whether the Division of Law served as legal counsel or if outside counsel was retained, the name of any outside counsel, the estimated and actual costs associated with retaining outside counsel, the estimated cost for the Division of Law to serve as legal counsel, and the outcome of the legal action.
The bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability by ensuring that the public has access to detailed information about the state's legal engagements with the federal government. It is set to take effect on the first day of the fourth month following its enactment.
