S 2730 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits business receiving State development subsidies from making certain campaign contributions.

This bill prohibits businesses receiving New Jersey state development subsidies of $25,000 or more from making campaign contributions to candidates, political parties, or committees during the subsidy period. It applies to recipient businesses, their key employees, and affiliates, but does not prevent candidates from contributing to their own campaigns. Violations carry fines up to $200,000 for individuals or $500,000 for entities, plus potential loss of the subsidy, ineligibility for future subsidies, or a 5-year ban on state contracting. The bill excludes subsidies for affordable housing, environmental programs, or nonprofit services from this restriction.
