On April 3, 2023, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed the Elections Transparency Act (ETA) (Bill No. A4372/S2866) into law. Sponsored by Senate President Nicholas P. Scutari, Assemblyman Louis D. Greenwald, and Assemblywoman Carol A. Murphy, the ETA massively overhauls the state’s campaign finance and pay-to-play laws, among other things. The ETA is the first major change to New Jersey’s campaign finance and pay-to-play laws in almost two decades and will greatly affect the way political campaigns and public contracts are managed in the state. Hear from a top-notch panel everything you need to know about the ETA and its impact on the procurement process.
