S 611 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell, Office of Information Technology, and New Jersey Big Data Alliance to develop advanced cyberinfrastructure strategic plan.

This bill requires New Jersey's Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell, Office of Information Technology, and New Jersey Big Data Alliance to develop a strategic plan for the state's cyberinfrastructure. The plan must assess current systems (including data storage, networks, and expertise), create a roadmap for a shared data cloud and high-speed network, and address workforce development and cybersecurity. It specifically directs the creation of an open data repository to improve collaboration between government, academia, and industry. The agencies must submit the completed plan to the Governor and Legislature within one year of the bill's effective date. This is a procedural directive focused on planning, not new regulations or funding.
