§ 14a:2-2.

No corporation organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey nor any foreign

“handicapped,” or term, terms, imprint, stamp, label or symbol suggesting such impairments,

as part of its name unless the approval of the Attorney General, or his designee,

is attached to the certificate of incorporation or application for amendment thereof. Such approval shall indicate that the words “blind” or “handicapped,” or term, terms,

imprint, stamp, label or symbol suggesting such impairments, as used in the corporate

is organized for charitable or nonprofit purposes for the blind or handicapped. Any corporation presently organized under the laws of this State or any foreign

corporation presently authorized to do business in this State that employs the words

“blind,” or “handicapped,” or term, terms, imprint, stamp, label or symbol suggesting

such impairment, in its corporate name shall seek the approval of the Attorney General,

name.
