A 5036 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes Office of Cybersecurity Infrastructure.

This bill establishes the Office of Cybersecurity Infrastructure within New Jersey's Executive Branch to develop and enforce state cybersecurity policies, secure technology systems for interactions between state agencies, nonprofits, and residents, and create guidelines for safe artificial intelligence (AI) integration in public and private institutions. The office, led by a Governor-appointed Chief Officer who reports directly to the Governor, will coordinate cybersecurity operations across state departments, establish service-level agreements with agencies, and enter agreements with external entities to strengthen infrastructure security. It must publish an annual report detailing its activities and maintain a public website with operational information. The office operates independently of the Department of the Treasury while being located within it, focusing on concrete policy implementation rather than speculative outcomes.
