Makes various changes to provisions of "Administrative Procedure Act."
This bill amends New Jersey's Administrative Procedure Act to increase transparency in how state agencies create and modify rules. It requires agencies to make all public comments, data sets, and rulemaking details publicly available online, extends the public comment period for proposed rules from 30 to 60 days, and mandates detailed socio-economic impact statements including dollar estimates of costs for businesses, residents, and governments. The bill establishes a $50 million annual expenditure threshold requiring public hearings for proposed rules, and requires agencies to check for conflicts with other state or federal rules before readopting existing regulations. These changes apply to all New Jersey state agencies that develop or amend rules and regulations.
