This bill establishes a new Office for Women's Advancement within New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The office will directly support women in the state's workforce by gathering data on issues like the gender pay gap, workplace culture, and hiring practices; collaborating with state agencies and groups like the New Jersey Advisory Commission on the Status of Women; reviewing legislation for gender equity; and publishing reports and hosting events. 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.
