A 4409 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires State agencies to periodically review administrative rules and regulations to ensure continued efficacy.

This New Jersey bill requires state agencies to regularly review their administrative rules to confirm they remain effective and necessary. Agencies must assess whether a rule's benefits still outweigh its costs before expiration (after seven years) and report findings to the Governor and Legislature. Rules can be extended for an additional seven years by filing a notice with the Office of Administrative Law, detailing the rule, its purpose, and new expiration date. This applies to most state agency rules, excluding those that repeal other rules, are mandated by federal law, or would violate other laws.
