Requires State Treasurer to collect and study certain demographic information on corporate boards and in senior management.
This bill requires all corporations doing business in New Jersey - including both domestic and foreign entities - to report demographic details of their directors and senior officers to the State Treasurer. Specifically, corporations must include data on race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, and veteran status as part of their annual filings. The State Treasurer will collect and study this information to analyze diversity patterns in corporate leadership, without imposing penalties for non-compliance. The bill affects all corporations operating in New Jersey and is designed to gather data for potential policy insights, not for enforcement. (Note: The bill was introduced in 2026 and remains pending.)
