Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey state agencies to consider the economic impact of proposed rules on municipalities. When developing rules, agencies must aim to achieve the goals of existing laws while minimizing any negative financial effects on local governments. The bill removes the specific requirement of considering ‘small’ municipalities, broadening the scope to apply to all municipalities. It also mandates agencies to analyze the potential impact of rules and include this analysis in the proposed rule notification.
