Makes various changes to provisions of "Administrative Procedure Act"; establishes Commission on Efficiency and Regulatory Review in Office of Administrative Law.
This bill creates a Commission on Efficiency and Regulatory Review within New Jersey's Office of Administrative Law. The commission reviews state agency rules and executive orders to assess their economic impact on businesses, workers, and local governments, determining if costs outweigh benefits. It holds public hearings twice yearly and annually recommends rule amendments, rescissions, or repeals to the governor - though these recommendations are advisory only and do not change existing regulations. The commission includes 12 agency representatives, legislative leaders, and a public chairperson appointed by the governor.
