Establishes "Trenton Makes Commission."
This bill creates the "Trenton Makes Commission" within New Jersey's Economic Development Authority to develop strategies supporting the state's manufacturing sector. The 13-member commission - including Governor-appointed representatives from business groups, education, and legislative leaders - will study other states' manufacturing incentives, identify cost-effective methods to attract new manufacturers and strengthen existing ones, and consult academic experts. It must report its findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within one year. The commission has no authority to enact laws or allocate funds; its role is strictly advisory, focusing on research and policy suggestions.
