NFIB state director has actively opposed harmful legislation being considered in the New Jersey Legislature over the past seven weeks of the new session.

[ARTICLE UPDATED MARCH 14, 2025]

Kean testified before the New Jersey Assembly Consumer Affairs Committee on January 27th opposing newly introduced signage legislation.

Under the bill, A-4636, every business that sells gift cards would be required to display a notice near where the cards are for sale, cautioning consumers about gift card fraud. Kean explained that not every location has a conspicuous manner to post a notice as they are already inundated with requirements. Also, she pointed out that the civil penalty fee of $1,000 is ridiculously steep and would amount to a significant burden on small businesses.
