Rules

Legal and Regulatory Compliance publishes rules and proposed rules online to offer the regulated communities and public an opportunity to participate in the administrative rulemaking process.   

Interested persons may submit comments or information on a rule proposal until the date indicated.

The adoption becomes effective when the notice of adoption is published in the New Jersey Register, unless otherwise indicated in the adoption notice. Promulgation in the Register establishes a new or amended rule as an official part of the New Jersey Administrative Code.
