A 293 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Suspends fines for certain first-time paperwork violations committed by small businesses.

This bill suspends fines for minor first-time paperwork errors by small businesses related to state agency reporting. It applies to businesses with 50 or fewer full-time employees (aligned with federal Small Business Act definitions), excluding violations involving taxes, public safety risks, or uncorrected errors after six months. If a violation poses a public safety danger, the agency may still impose a fine unless the business corrects it within 24 hours. Exceptions include violations causing serious harm, interfering with criminal investigations, or failing to correct errors timely.
