Requires independent State authority member to disclose contractual relationship between authority and authority member's relatives.

S 1711 requires members of New Jersey's independent state authorities (such as boards and commissions, but excluding colleges) to disclose if a relative has a contract with their authority. Members must report such relationships to the State Ethics Commission within 30 days of appointment or when a contract with a relative begins, including retroactively for existing contracts upon the bill's enactment. Violations can result in removal from office and fines up to $10,000 per violation. This law aims to increase transparency around potential conflicts of interest involving authority members and their relatives.
