S 2393 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Mandates that certain personnel critical to certain State finance and revenue generating activities are essential employees during state of emergency or government shutdown.

This bill designates certain state employees critical to preserving the state's financial assets and revenue from State-licensed activities as essential workers during emergencies or budget shutdowns. It requires department heads to identify these personnel, who must continue working to maintain tax collection and revenue operations. The law applies specifically to employees in departments handling licensed financial activities (like businesses requiring state permits), ensuring uninterrupted tax collection during disruptions. This prevents gaps in revenue collection that could delay government recovery after an emergency or budget impasse.
