S 2073 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires independent State authority member to disclose contractual relationship between authority and authority member's relatives.

S 2073 requires members of New Jersey's independent state authorities (like boards or commissions not directly controlled by a state department) to disclose if a family member has a contract with that authority. Members must report such relationships to the State Ethics Commission within 30 days of their appointment or when a contract with a relative begins. Violations can result in removal from office and fines up to $10,000 per violation. The bill aims to increase transparency around potential conflicts of interest involving authority members and their relatives.
