CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT
Introduced Pending Technical Review by Legislative Counsel.
An Act prohibiting the imposition of civil penalties on State agencies by State agencies and supplementing P.L.1999, c.274 (C.2A:58-10 et seq.).
Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
1. An administrative agency of the State, or a division, board, bureau, or office of such an agency, shall not assess, impose, or enforce a civil penalty on any State agency, or a division, board, bureau, or office of such an agency, notwithstanding any provision of the law to the contrary.
2. This act shall take effect immediately.
STATEMENT
This bill prohibits State agencies from assessing imposing, or enforcing civil penalties on State agencies, or a division, board, bureau or office of such an agency. Under current law, there is no prohibition which would prevent a State agency from seeking penalties against an agency or an entity in an agency.
