Requires State, county, and municipal employees and certain State contractors to complete cybersecurity awareness training.

S 4742 requires all New Jersey state, county, and municipal government workers (including employees of public universities and state agencies), plus contractors with access to state computer systems or databases, to complete annual cybersecurity awareness training. The training must be delivered online, verified through designated channels (e.g., via the Chief Technology Officer’s office), and audited periodically to ensure compliance. Contractors must complete the training once per contract period, with content tailored to their roles. This applies to all government branches, including the Legislature, and takes effect 90 days after enactment.
