Establishes New Jersey Bullion Depository for secure precious metals storage.

S 844 establishes the New Jersey Bullion Depository as a division within the Department of the Treasury to securely store precious metals (like gold and silver bullion and coins) for both state entities and eligible private parties. The depository, operated by a private contractor under state contract, must meet strict security standards (Class 3 Vault) and prohibit activities like metal leasing or derivatives trading to ensure physical holdings match account balances. It allows state agencies, businesses, nonprofits, and financial institutions to deposit precious metals for secure storage, with delivery available on demand within five business days. Revenue from fees will go to the State General Fund, and the State Treasurer must report annually on operations. This bill creates a new state-managed storage system for precious metals, focusing on security and accountability.
