Requires study of vacant commercial space for small businesses.

This bill directs New Jersey's Business Action Center to conduct a study on vacant commercial real estate and submit a report within one year to state officials. The report will examine how local governments track empty commercial spaces, how municipalities use existing rehabilitation laws, and what financial or technical assistance programs currently exist to help address vacant properties. It also includes a survey of business owners to understand their experiences with private resources for finding vacant spaces and will offer recommendations to improve how businesses locate available commercial real estate. The legislation primarily affects small businesses and prospective business owners by creating a formal review of state and local efforts to address commercial vacancy issues.
