Does your company have a government contract or plan to seek business with a government entity in New Jersey? If so, it is essential to understand the rules that could result in the breach of an existing contract and the possible prevention of government business for years. The New Jersey pay-to-play law limits contributions to candidates and certain other committees depending on how a contract is awarded. Company leadership must know which contributions from individuals within the company count as contributions from the business and track applicable political activity to comply with mandatory reporting with the state. Failure to educate company leadership on these rules and develop a compliance program to capture the relevant activity could be costly.
