Public Comment Period Extended for Some Proposed Regulations

NEWARK – The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs recently determined that its website, which permits members of the public to submit electronic comments on proposed rulemakings, has experienced technical issues that may have resulted in some commenters being unable to submit electronic comments on rule proposals. Therefore, in order to ensure that adequate notice of, and opportunity to comment on, the Division's intended rulemaking actions has been provided, consistent with the requirements of the Administrative Procedures Act, N.J.S.A. 52:14B-1 et seq., the Division is extending the comment period for proposed rulemakings that appeared in the New Jersey Register from April 20, 2015 through July 6, 2015.
