This bill establishes a new Office for Women's Advancement within New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

It creates a dedicated "Women's Advancement Fund" to receive annual state appropriations and accept federal funds or grants for the office's operations. The goal is to promote full and equal workplace participation for women across all industries in New Jersey.
