In a press release press release the governor signs Executive Order No. 7 instituting a 90-day pause on the proposal and adoption of new rules and regulations.
Any rules that have been filed with the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) but not published in the New Jersey Register shall be withdrawn.
Under this Executive Order, no agency shall propose or adopt any rule for a period of 90 days, subject to exceptions. Any rules that have been filed with the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) but not published in the New Jersey Register shall be withdrawn.
State agencies that have pending proposed rules will notify the Governor by February 2, 2026, of any proposals whose non-adoption will adversely impact public health or security or obstruct essential operations, among other considerations. The Governor can then consider whether to lift the pause on those proposals before the end of the 90-day pause.
