Allows certain State agencies to sell Internet advertisements on agencies' websites as pilot program.
This bill allows New Jersey state agencies (except the Lottery) with .com, .org, or .net websites to test selling online ads on their sites for up to three years. Agencies must follow strict rules: ads cannot promote tobacco, alcohol, politics, or conflict with their mission, and must include a disclaimer stating the state doesn’t endorse them. Revenue from ads goes to the state fund, with 10% allocated for agency innovation. Agencies must report on the pilot’s effectiveness after three years, including costs and earnings.
