     SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

                    STATEMENT TO

               ASSEMBLY, No. 5422
                   with committee amendments



 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                   DATED: NOVEMBER 17, 2025

    The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably and with
committee amendments Assembly Bill No. 5422.
   As amended, this bill provides businesses required to comply with
any business registration requirement of the Division of Revenue and
Enterprise Service in the Department of the Treasury or any successor
agency the option to register for a computer-based service
administered or made available by the division for the purpose of
receiving official and authoritative notifications electronically from
State agencies capable of sending the notifications. The service is to
be linked with the division’s online business filing services and is to
collect and store electronic mail addresses and other contact
information. “Business” is defined in the bill to mean an individual,
partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, corporation, non-
profit corporation, or other legal business entity or successor thereof
that files business registration documents with the Division of
Revenue and Enterprise Services in the Department of the Treasury,
but does not include a government agency.
   A business that accepts electronic notification under the bill will no
longer receive paper versions of official and authoritative notifications
from the agencies receiving contact information from the division but
is to maintain postal mailing addresses in accordance with other
statutory requirements. Nothing in the bill is to be construed to
supersede or modify any statutory requirement that a notice be sent by
postal mail or certified mail, where that method is expressly required
by law.
   The Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services is to provide the
electronic addresses and other contact information to other certain
State agencies that send official and authoritative notices to allow for
the implementation of the provisions of the bill. The business is
authorized to request to the Division of Revenue and Enterprise
Services a cessation of electronic notification. If that request is made,
the division is to notify the other State agencies of the request.
    As amended and reported by the committee, Assembly Bill No.
5422 is identical to Senate Bill No. 4290, which was also amended and
reported by the committee on this date.
                                   2

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS:
    The committee amended the bill to:
    (1) update the definition of “business” and add a definition of
“official and authoritative notification;”
    (2) modify how a business will sign-up to receive official and
authoritative notifications electronically;
    (3) stipulate that a business is to maintain a postal mailing address
and that nothing in the bill is to be construed as interfering with other
laws requiring businesses to maintain a postal mailing address;
    (4) clarify what agencies the Division of Revenue and Enterprise
Services is to share business contact information with to allow all the
requisite agencies to send official and authoritative notifications
electronically;
    (5) allow businesses to stop receiving electronic notifications and
require notice of this cessation be sent by the Division of Revenue and
Enterprise Services to the other State agencies; and
    (6) require the State Treasurer work in consultation with the
Director of the Division of Taxation and the Chief Executive Officer
of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, in addition to
the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development, to adopt
rules and regulations.
