Under the State "sunset" law, all regulations must be reviewed at least every five years to ensure that they are reasonable and necessary. Amendments or new rules may be developed at any time in order to comply with new laws, improve services or meet changing community needs. Amendments and new rules are developed in consultation with representatives of the regulated programs and the general public. If you would like to participate in the process of developing amendments or new rules contact OOL.

All proposed changes to regulations must be published in the New Jersey Register, an official publication of the Office of Administrative Law, and made available for public comment.
