A 5461 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes various changes to provisions of "Administrative Procedure Act."

This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to improve public access to their rulemaking processes. It mandates that agencies publish detailed information online, including organizational descriptions, permit fees, deadlines, final decisions, and a quarterly rulemaking calendar. Agencies must now provide a 90-day public comment period for proposed rules (up from 60 days) and make all rulemaking documents accessible via websites. These changes directly affect all state agencies by increasing transparency and public engagement in regulatory decisions.
