A 2633 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes certain ethical standards and financial control requirements for State authorities.

This bill establishes mandatory ethics and financial oversight requirements for New Jersey's independent state authorities (such as boards, commissions, and agencies operating outside main departments). It requires annual training for authority members on government ethics and fiscal practices (including federal Sarbanes-Oxley rules), with executive directors certifying completion annually. The Inspector General must assess internal controls and recommend uniform practices, while authorities must certify compliance with existing ethics rules (Executive Orders 10, 122, and 134) regarding audits, vendor contributions, and dual roles. Failure to comply may lead to removal from office or employment.
