A 3009 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns debarment of contractors for conviction of certain computer-related crimes.

This bill requires vendors working with state data (including computer systems, networks, or databases) to certify they and their subcontractors have no convictions for specific computer-related crimes. It mandates a state registry of disqualified individuals and prohibits contractors from hiring such persons, with violations triggering fines up to $50,000 or three years of ineligibility for public contracts. The law directly affects technology vendors, IT service providers, and subcontractors handling state data. Key mechanisms include mandatory certification, registry checks before contract awards, and penalties for noncompliance.
