"New Jersey Secretary of Commerce Act"; establishes Department of Commerce as principal department in Executive Branch of State government; makes an appropriation.

This bill establishes the Department of Commerce as a principal department within New Jersey's Executive Branch, creating the role of Secretary of Commerce appointed by the Governor (with Senate approval). The Secretary will coordinate state efforts to support business development, economic growth, and innovation across all departments, replacing the previous decentralized approach. The bill transfers the Business Action Center (from the Department of State) and its functions to the new department, requires an annual State of Commerce report to the Governor and Legislature, and mandates a review of agency responsibilities to streamline economic development efforts. It directly affects state government operations and businesses seeking state economic support.
