Requires each principal department in Executive Branch to conduct review of department's COVID-19 preparedness, response, and recovery and make recommendations.
This bill requires all major New Jersey state agencies (principal departments in the Executive Branch) to review their own responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Each agency head must analyze how the pandemic impacted their work, evaluate their preparedness and actions taken, examine relevant laws and procedures, identify lessons learned, and incorporate recommendations from other governments. Agencies must then develop a new preparedness plan for future emergencies and submit findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within two years. The bill focuses on documenting past efforts to improve future emergency responses, without specifying new funding or restrictions.
