A 3380 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits elected local government officers from accepting employment with law firm for a period of time if officer voted to award local government contract to firm.

This bill prohibits elected local government officers from accepting employment with a law firm they voted to award a government contract to, for the contract's duration plus one year. It also prevents local governments from continuing or entering new contracts with that firm for one year if a former officer who voted for the contract joins it. The restriction applies to professional services contracts (like legal work) and must be included in contract documents. This policy change aims to prevent conflicts of interest where officials might secure future employment through their voting decisions.
