New Jersey § 52:27d-122

§ 52:27d-122.

It is hereby found and declared: a. That a multiplicity of construction codes currently exists in this State and some

of these codes contain needless restrictions which limit the use of certain materials,

techniques or products without any benefits to the public. Moreover, the variation of construction standards caused by the multiplicity of

codes slows the process of construction and increases the costs of construction. b. That the way to insure uniform, modern construction standards and regulations throughout

the State of New Jersey which will lower the cost of housing and other construction

without any detriment to the public health, safety and welfare is to adopt a uniform

State construction code. c. That the need of new construction in the State can be met in part by the use of

premanufactured systems which are fabricated in the geographical region of the United

States of which New Jersey is a part and that a uniform construction code should include

standards to permit the use of such systems. d. That the model codes of the Building Officials and Code Administrators International,

Inc., the National Electrical Code and the National Standard Plumbing Code, or modification

thereof, are construction codes which have been widely adopted in this State and in

the geographical region of the United States of which New Jersey is a part and adoption

of these nationally recognized codes pursuant to this act will insure that the State

has a uniform, modern construction code which will insure health, safe, and sanitary

construction but also less expensive construction for the citizens of this State.
