Bill > A5422

This bill establishes a new electronic notification system for businesses in New Jersey, allowing them to voluntarily register to receive official government communications via email about new regulations, tax requirements, and economic incentives. The bill defines a "business" as a legal business entity that files registration documents with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, and introduces the concept of "official and authoritative notifications" as specific types of government communications. Businesses can opt into this electronic notification service through the division's online business filing services, where they can provide electronic mail addresses and other contact information. While participating businesses will receive electronic notifications instead of paper communications, they must still maintain postal addresses for legal service and other required communications. The bill requires the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services to share these contact details with relevant state agencies like the Department of Labor, Division of Taxation, and New Jersey Economic Development Authority. Businesses can also opt out of electronic notifications at any time, after which agencies will revert to paper communications. The State Treasurer, in consultation with other government officials, will develop specific rules and regulations to implement this new system. The bill is set to take effect on January 1 following its enactment.
