AI Summary

This bill establishes the Red Tape Review Task Force within the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, composed of nine initial members including the Lieutenant Governor (who serves as chair), various state commissioners, and legislative leaders. The task force's primary purpose is to improve New Jersey's regulatory process by identifying and eliminating unnecessarily burdensome government requirements, with the ultimate goals of promoting job creation, economic growth, and investment. The Lieutenant Governor may appoint additional members from non-profit organizations, businesses, workers, and local governments to provide additional expertise. The task force will meet at least twice a year and is required to solicit public input, review state government rules and regulations, and produce a comprehensive written report to the Governor and Legislature within three years of the bill's enactment. Task force members will serve without compensation, and their recommendations will be advisory in nature, meaning they cannot be used as a basis for legal challenges. The task force will automatically dissolve upon submission of its final report, highlighting its temporary and focused nature as a regulatory review mechanism.
