S.1788

Establishes fee refund program for individuals and businesses applying for permits, licenses, or certifications in New Jersey.

Introduced·1/13/26

New Jersey S1788 establishes a fee refund program for businesses applying for permits, licenses, or certifications in the state.

New Jersey S1788 mandates that state entities issuing permits, licenses, or certifications compile and submit a catalog to the Governor. The catalog must detail each type of permit, license, or certification, the method of application receipt, and the legal authority for each. The Governor's office will then establish recommended application processing times. If a state entity exceeds these recommended times after receiving a completed application, it must refund the application fee, though this refund does not affect the application's outcome.
