Makes various changes to provisions of "Administrative Procedure Act."
Bill A 1505 amends New Jersey's Administrative Procedure Act to increase transparency in state agency rulemaking. It requires agencies to publish all rules, permits, fees, deadlines, and public hearing notices on their websites, and to create a quarterly calendar of upcoming rulemaking activities. The bill mandates a 90-day public comment period for proposed rules (up from 60 days) and prohibits agencies from consolidating unrelated rule proposals. These changes directly affect state agencies and the public seeking to understand or participate in regulatory processes.
