A 5349 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Clarifies investigatory powers and duties of SCI.

This bill clarifies the investigatory powers and duties of New Jersey's State Commission of Investigation, which is responsible for overseeing public officials and government agencies. It reaffirms the commission's role as the state's primary independent oversight body and requires other investigative entities, such as the Office of the State Comptroller, to collaborate with it when appropriate. The legislation also updates the commission's structure by specifying that its four members must include attorneys and ensuring that no more than two members belong to the same political party. Additionally, the bill sets salary limits for commissioners and outlines procedures for filling vacancies to maintain the commission's operational continuity.
