Introduced Session

This bill requires a State entity, to be designated by the Governor within 30 days of its effective date, to establish and maintain in the Executive Branch of State government on its official website, a central database of all State government programs offered to the public by each State department or agency. The central database would organize all programs by eligibility categories, such as age and income, and would enable users to search the programs using keywords. Among other features, each program's page would include: (1) the title and description of the program; (2) the implementing State department or agency; (3) the purpose of the program; (4) the persons or groups of persons that the program aims to serve; (5) the eligibility criteria; (6) the date on which the program was initiated; (7) the application deadline, if any; (8) a description and list of information and documentation necessary to complete an application; and (9) a link to the application. Under the bill, each State department or agency would provide the information to be included in the database with respect to its programs, to be included in the database in a uniform manner across all State departments and agencies. The bill requires regular and timely updates, to be indicated on each program's page.
