Did you know? 💡
OSC’s Public Contracting Oversight (PCO) Division acts as a circuit breaker helping ensure local governments and public entities enter contracts that follow the law.

Every year, our attorneys review hundreds of public procurements for prospective contracts valued over $3 million from more than 1,900 state and local entities.

This oversight helps ensure contracts are awarded competitively, transparently, and fairly.

Recent reviews include:
❄️ A $300M statewide snowplowing operations procurement
💻 A $200M statewide computer equipment procurement
🚧 A $37.5M Meadowlands Pedestrian Bridge Design/Build procurement

Last week, Acting State Comptroller Shirley U. Emehelu and members of OSC staff met with NJ Elder Ombudsman Laurie Brewer and members of NJ Nursing Home Residents United nursing home residents to hear firsthand about the issues they are facing, and to discuss the importance of financial transparency in long‑term care.

OSC’s mission is to ensure public dollars are used responsibly. Clear, accurate financial reporting helps improve oversight, strengthen accountability, and give residents, families, employees, and taxpayers confidence in how resources are being used.

We appreciate the dedication of nursing home staff and understand how transparency can help support better working conditions, appropriate staffing, and improved care for residents.

Kicking off summer with some good government news 🌊☀️

New Jersey has updated its lifeguard pension system

An OSC audit in 2025 uncovered outdated law requiring fourth-class cities—seaside cities bordering the Atlantic Ocean—to operate a lifeguard pension plan, saddling municipalities with a significant financial burden.

The new law lets the cities close their old pension plans to new hires, and ensures lifeguards get their contributions back if they do not qualify for a pension.

This updated legislation helps towns manage costs.
