Requires OIT to establish Statewide wireless network through public-private partnership agreement.

This bill requires New Jersey's Office of Information Technology (OIT) to partner with private companies to build and operate a statewide wireless network through a public-private partnership agreement. It directly affects state government agencies that would use the network and private telecommunications companies eligible to bid on the contract. Key provisions include: requiring OIT to hold public hearings, prove the partnership costs less than a public option, and structure agreements where the private entity manages the network for a set term before returning full control to the state. The private entity finances construction and receives network revenue during the agreement, while OIT retains ownership and final oversight. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Economic Growth Committee after introduction on January 13, 2026.
