§ 18a:73-25.

a. The New Jersey Historical Commission shall develop an application process to be

followed by local government units, nonprofit charitable organizations, and civic

organizations to identify and propose sites for inclusion in the program. An application shall include but is not limited to the location of the proposed

site and evidence to support its historical or cultural significance, and the proposed

text for the roadside marker. If an application submitted by a local government unit, nonprofit charitable organization,

or civic organization is approved by the commission and by the appropriate entity

having jurisdiction over the roadway along which the marker is to be placed, the requesting

local government unit, nonprofit charitable organization, or civic organization, as

appropriate, may purchase, through an approved vendor, and erect a marker bearing

the State seal, designating that the site has been approved by the commission and

that the marker meets standards for historical accuracy. b. The commission shall compile and maintain a listing of approved vendors and shall

negotiate, to the extent practicable and feasible, a volume discounted rate for the

purchase of markers by local government units, nonprofit charitable organizations,

or civic organizations. c. The commission shall compile and maintain a registry of approved sites and an inventory

of markers erected pursuant to this act. 1 d. The commission shall conduct a notification program designed to inform local government

units, nonprofit charitable organizations, and civic organizations of the existence

of the program, through both printed materials and an Internet site. 1
