Establishes New Jersey-India Commission.

This bill establishes a permanent New Jersey-India Commission to strengthen economic, cultural, and educational ties between New Jersey and India. It formalizes a commission previously created by Governor Murphy’s 2024 executive order, requiring the Governor to appoint 35-45 members: eight recommended by legislative leaders (with party balance rules), and the rest as public members serving three-year terms. The commission will foster trade, investment, and exchanges, directly supporting New Jersey’s Indian-American community (approximately 400,000 people) and India’s status as the state’s second-largest foreign investor. The bill does not create new programs but ensures ongoing coordination through a structured, permanent body.
