A 725 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits imposition of civil penalties on State agencies by State agencies.

This bill prohibits New Jersey state agencies from imposing civil penalties on other state agencies or their subdivisions (like divisions or bureaus). It directly affects all state agencies by preventing internal enforcement actions, such as fines, between government entities. The law takes effect immediately and removes a current gap where agencies could theoretically penalize each other under existing statutes.
