Bill Summary
This bill requires the Office of Information Technology to develop Go NJ: The New Jersey Information Hub. The hub is an internet-based tool which will provide access to multiple platforms and tools across existing State political subdivisions, including, but not limited to, department, agency, authority, and commission websites and centralize access to political subdivisions and their regulatory or public-service purposes. The hub will act as the central access point for information related to the various functions of the State, including information related to business regulation, business start-up, commercial development, permitting, grants, tax forms and requirements, environmental, health and safety, nonprofit activities, and economic development. New Jersey has a complex politic body structure, which includes departments, agencies, authorities, and commissions, as well as other political bodies, each with its own particular scope of responsibilities. The organizations typically have independent internet platforms which can cause confusion for users who are navigating through multiple websites while searching for information on related subjects. Go NJ: The New Jersey Information Hub will integrate the various websites and tools to create a search and access design to allow navigation across multiple organizations.
AI Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Office of Information Technology (OIT) to create "Go NJ: The New Jersey Information Hub," a centralized online platform designed to simplify access to various state government services and information. Recognizing that New Jersey's governmental structure is complex and fragmented, the bill aims to help businesses, organizations, and individuals more easily navigate government resources by integrating multiple government websites and tools into a single, user-friendly hub. The proposed platform will provide comprehensive access to services including business regulation, grants, taxation, environmental requirements, health and safety information, nonprofit activities, and development resources. The hub is specifically designed to be accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise, accommodate both mobile and traditional computer access, and create a seamless user experience by accounting for system interdependencies. The OIT will be responsible for developing the hub and must provide an assessment of potential contractor or vendor costs. Importantly, the bill stipulates that implementing this centralized hub will not impose new regulatory or technological requirements on the participating government subdivisions. The legislation is intended to enhance government transparency and improve information retrieval for New Jersey residents and businesses.
