A 689 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Local Governmental Process Activities Disclosure Act;" expands lobbying disclosure requirements to local level.

This bill, known as the "Local Governmental Process Activities Disclosure Act," expands lobbying disclosure requirements to New Jersey's local government level. It requires anyone acting as a "governmental affairs agent" (a person who influences local measures, regulations, or processes) to register with the Election Law Enforcement Commission before communicating with local officials or providing benefits. The bill mandates quarterly reports on lobbying activities and annual reports detailing expenditures, with specific limits on gifts to local officials ($250 annually) and their immediate family members. It applies to all local government entities including municipalities, counties, school districts, and local authorities.
