Bill > A4304

This bill establishes a Legislative Enactment Oversight Committee within the Department of State to ensure that laws and joint resolutions passed by the Legislature are effectively and efficiently implemented by the appropriate government entities in a timely manner and according to their specific provisions. The committee will consist of 15 New Jersey residents serving five-year terms, with members receiving annual salaries set by the Governor, not exceeding $120,000 for the chair and $90,000 for other members, and they will be part of the state's unclassified service, meaning they are not covered by standard civil service rules. This committee will monitor the implementation of laws and resolutions enacted both after the bill's passage and within the preceding five years, assess implementation efficiency and timeliness, identify causes of delays, evaluate resource adequacy for implementation, and collect data on the impact of these laws. The committee will also respond to legislative inquiries about implementation status and can hire consultants or request assistance from other state agencies. It will hold regular and special meetings, may form subcommittees, and is required to submit reports on its findings and actions to the Governor and the Legislature at least twice a year.
