Title 11A · Chapter 7. Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action

Current through the close of the 221st Legislature (L. 2025, c. 346). What that means

Reviewed as of July 28, 2026. Official text: njleg.state.nj.us.

In plain language

Twenty-three words placing accountability at the top. The head of each State agency answers to the Governor for the agency achieving and maintaining compliance with the affirmative action program. Not to the division, and not to the Treasurer: to the Governor. Read with 11A:7-9, which lets sanctions be imposed subject to the Governor's concurrence, the chapter routes both the accountability and the consequences through the same office.
