Murphy Directs State Agencies to Review Impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act 

On Jul 23, 2025

Following the enactment of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA, P.L. 119-21), Gov. Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 393, directing state agencies to immediately evaluate the impacts of the spending law.

Under the executive order, all state agencies are directed to immediately review the OBBBA and its impacts on their budgets, operations, and programs, including services provided to New Jersey residents.

By Oct. 1 state agencies are required to submit to the Governor’s Office a preliminary assessment of these impacts along with any related legislative measures they recommend the Governor support during the current annual session of the Legislature to protect the State’s finances and its residents’ interests.

By Nov. 15, all state agencies are required to provide the Governor’s Office with a preliminary list of any non-legislative measures that they recommend considering to address the adverse impacts of the OBBBA on their budgets, operations, and programs, and on New Jersey’s residents.

The Governor’s Office will review the preliminary assessments and recommendations submitted pursuant to this Order and will coordinate responsive activities among state agencies. The Governor may also consider any additional legislation, gubernatorial measures, and cabinet-level actions to address the impacts of the OBBBA.
