N.J.S.A. 11A:7-4 Agency goals
The department shall establish reasonable equal employment and affirmative action goals for State agencies in the form of regulations. Implemented by a rule in N.J.A.C. Title 4A.
Current through the close of the 221st Legislature (L. 2025, c. 346). What that means

In plain language
Nineteen words, and the important one is "regulations". Agency equal employment and affirmative action goals are set by the department in the form of regulations, not by internal memorandum or agency-by-agency negotiation. That makes them public, subject to the rulemaking process, and citable. It is also why a question about what a particular agency is aiming at is answered in the Administrative Code rather than in this chapter.

The rules that implement this section
A statute sets the framework and the Civil Service Commission’s rules fill in the detail. Where a question turns on procedure, the rule usually governs; where it turns on who is covered or what the Commission may do, the statute does.
