Committee advances bill requiring state reports on proposed technology upgrades
Summary
AB4577 would require state departments and the Office of Technology to report on proposed technology upgrades; supporters registered in favor and the committee voted to release the bill to a second reference.
The Assembly Science, Innovation and Technology Committee advanced Assembly Bill 4577 after a brief presentation and unanimous roll call. Mikaela read the bill, which requires state departments and the Office of Technology to provide reports on proposed technology upgrades; proposed committee amendments make a technical change to the bill’s title.
Representatives from the New Jersey Business & Industry Association and a public affairs firm registered support and did not testify. Committee members moved to amend and release the bill; the clerk called the roll and recorded affirmative votes from Assemblyman DePhillips, Assemblyman Miller, Assemblywoman Simmons, Assemblyman Maranko, Vice Chair Danielson and Chairman Tully. The measure will proceed to a second reference for further consideration and any sponsor amendments.
Committee members did not discuss enforcement mechanisms or reporting timelines during the hearing; those items appear reserved for later drafting and sponsor engagement.
