S 83 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides State information technology contracts will require use of software to document computer use by contractor.

This bill requires state agencies to include a specific software verification tool in all information technology contracts exceeding $100,000. It directly affects IT contractors working on state projects by mandating software that automatically documents computer-based work hours through real-time screenshots, keystroke tracking, and task cost monitoring. The software must provide immediate data access to agencies, track eligibility of billable hours, and retain all verified data for seven years after payment. Contractors cannot charge the state for using this verification software or accessing the collected data.
