“American Rescue Plan funds have helped many families and businesses across our state and kept a stalled economy from falling into an economic collapse,” said Governor Murphy. “We must continue to make the most of the American Rescue Plan funds we’ve been given and appropriate the funds judiciously to set New Jersey on a path towards the best long-term recovery. This Executive Order sets up a proactive framework to identify and resolve duplications of benefits to reduce cases of fraud, waste, and abuse of these necessary funds.”
