S 1008 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes independent State Office of Consumer.

S 1008 proposes creating an independent State Office of the Consumer within New Jersey's Legislative Branch, headed by a director appointed by Senate and Assembly leadership. The office would directly assess local governments, school districts, state offices, and health insurance companies by making random phone calls to evaluate responsiveness and conducting website usability reviews. It would require the director to submit monthly reports to the Governor and Legislature detailing findings on call accessibility and website user-friendliness. The bill establishes this office as a new oversight body focused on improving public access to government services and information.
