Makes various changes to provisions of "Administrative Procedure Act."
This bill amends New Jersey's Administrative Procedure Act to improve transparency in state agency rule-making. It requires agencies to publish key information - including organizational descriptions, rule-making schedules, public comments, and final decisions - on their websites. Agencies must also provide at least 60 days' notice for proposed rules (up from 30 days), maintain a quarterly calendar of upcoming rule-making activities, and wait 45 days before acting on new items added to the calendar. These changes directly affect all state agencies that create or modify rules, aiming to make the process more accessible to the public.
