S 2271 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires each government entity in this State to conduct review of cybersecurity infrastructure and make recommendations.

This bill requires all New Jersey government entities - including municipalities, counties, school districts, and state departments - to review their cybersecurity infrastructure. Each entity must evaluate current systems for security and efficiency, identify high-risk issues, propose modernization strategies for networks and software, and suggest policy changes if needed. The head of each entity must submit findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within 45 days of the bill’s effective date. This applies broadly to every local and state government body in New Jersey, focusing on proactive security assessments rather than creating new laws. The bill does not impose new restrictions but mandates structured reviews to strengthen cybersecurity across public agencies.
