Bill > S4236

Introduced Session

This bill requires legislative approval for all rules and regulations promulgated by the State Board of Education and repeals the entirety of the "Managing for Equity in Education" regulations found within chapter 7 of Title 6A of the New Jersey Administrative Code (N.J.A.C.6A:7). Under the bill, the State Board of Education is required to obtain legislative approval prior to adopting any new rule; amending a rule, readopting an expiring rule; or readopting a rule without changes, with technical changes, or with substantial changes. This legislative approval is to be in the form of the passage of a concurrent resolution. If the Legislature adopts a concurrent resolution to approve the rule or readoption, the rule is required to be adopted in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act." If the Legislature adopts a concurrent resolution to disapprove the rule or readoption, it cannot be adopted. Additionally, the bill provides that the State board is required to include the concurrent resolution when filing for a notice of proposal or notice of adoption with the Office of Administrative Law. Finally, this bill repeals the State board's "Managing for Equity in Education" regulations recently adopted and found within N.J.A.C.6A:7.
