New Jersey § 52:27d-122

§ 52:27d-122.

The Legislature finds and declares that: a. One of the specified purposes of the “State Uniform Construction Code Act,” P.L.1975,

c. 217 ( C.52:27D-119 et seq. ), was the elimination of restrictive and unnecessary construction regulations that

tend to unnecessarily increase construction costs. b. While the overall effect of the statutory requirement that the subcodes of the

State Uniform Construction Code be adoptions of the model codes or standards of nationally

recognized organizations, including all amendments or revisions to such codes or standards,

has been consistent with the intent and purpose of the “State Uniform Construction

Code Act,” there have been exceptional instances in which the amendment or revision

of an adopted code or standard has included changes that are not consistent with that

intent and purpose. c. It is therefore necessary and appropriate that the Commissioner of Community Affairs

be given the authority to limit the adoption of later revisions to the model code

to include only those standards in effect on July 1, 1995, and any later revisions

or amendments of model codes which would not be inconsistent with the intent and purpose

of the act.
