Sherrill Administration is Pursuing Whole-of-Government Action to Streamline Permitting and Regulatory Processes
Governor Sherrill outlined several initial steps being taken to save New Jerseyans time and money through streamlined permitting processes:
All state agencies have been directed to complete a comprehensive catalogue of permits and approvals. This inventory, due April 20, 2026, will help identify outdated or duplicative requirements and inform the reforms required under Executive Order 5.
The Governor’s Office has convened working sessions and completed initial permitting reviews with leadership and staff at the New Jersey Department of Transportation, New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to examine permit processes in depth and discuss opportunities to improve coordination and reduce delays.
In collaboration with the New Jersey Innovation Authority, the Sherrill Administration is developing a real-time permitting dashboard, allowing applicants to track progress, increase transparency, and help identify bottlenecks. The Governor’s Office expects to initially launch a pilot dashboard with a limited set of projects and will expand functionality from there.
