AI Summary
This bill requires all State entities in the Executive Branch of New Jersey government to offer businesses an optional electronic notification service for receiving legally mandated notices. These notices could include various types of official communications such as violation notifications, underpayment alerts, and unemployment claim documents. Within 60 days of the bill's effective date, each State entity must proactively notify businesses under its jurisdiction about this new electronic service option and provide them with the necessary information to opt in. The bill defines a "State entity" broadly to include not just state departments and agencies, but also any associated boards, commissions, corporations, authorities, or instrumentalities. By providing this optional electronic service, the bill aims to modernize and potentially streamline how businesses receive official government communications, making it more convenient for companies to stay informed about important notices. The bill will become effective 90 days after it is enacted, giving State entities time to implement the new electronic notification system.
