AI Summary

This bill requires that workers' compensation judges and administrative law judges, who are officials appointed to specific government roles, be included in two databases maintained by The Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. These databases, which already track personal characteristics like race and gender identity for individuals appointed to state boards, commissions, authorities, and other judgeships, will now also collect and make publicly searchable information about these specific types of judges. The bill aims to increase transparency by ensuring that data on all appointed officials, including these judges, is accessible to the public through the Institute's website.
