ASSEMBLY COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
                COMMITTEE

                           STATEMENT TO

                      ASSEMBLY, No. 4275

       STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                            DATED: MARCH 9, 2026

          The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development Committee
      reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 4275.
          As reported, this bill establishes an online Statewide tracking
      system for certain permits, licenses, certifications, and form
      applications.
          Under the bill, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) has
      one calendar year to establish an online Statewide tracking system for
      certain permits, licenses, certifications, and form applications issued
      by each principal department in the Executive branch of State
      government, as well as any agencies, commissions, boards, bureaus,
      and offices under their purview. The OIT is responsible for creating
      the network necessary to maintain the system and providing computer
      software, hardware, and security.
          At a minimum, the Statewide application tracking system must
      have the ability to assign a unique application number to each permit,
      license, certification, or form application submitted and entered into
      the system; interactivity among the appropriate principal departments,
      including immediate electronic access to records in the system to
      receive or transmit files in the system and to print or review files in the
      system; and the ability to permit an appropriate entity to enter
      information relating to the status of a permit, license, certification, or
      form application on an expedited basis and to permit the OIT to
      provide technical support.
          Additionally, the bill provides a list of information that is required
      to be collected and displayed in the system for each application, such
      as the application number, the department, the received date, the
      status, and the estimated date of completion.
          Under the bill, the head of each principal department in the State
      Executive branch will be responsible for assessing which permits,
      licenses, certifications, or form applications are to be included in the
      Statewide application tracking system, including any issued by
      agencies, commissions, boards, bureaus, and offices under their
      purview.
          At a minimum, when making the determination, the head of each
      principal department must consider the number of each type of permit,
      license, certification, or form application requested in a calendar year;
                                    2

the average duration of the approval process for each type of permit,
license, certification, or form application; and the ease or difficulty of
approving a request for each type of permit, license, certification, or
form application.
    The bill states that all principal departments, and any agency,
commission, board, bureau, or office under the purview of such
department, must cooperate fully with the OIT and the Chief
Technology Officer.
