This includes legislation passed in 2013 and in the beginning of 2014. During this time, 284 laws, 18 joint resolutions and 17 concurrent resolutions were approved. This volume contains information on chapter laws, joint resolutions (which were adopted by both houses and approved by the Governor) and concurrent resolutions (which were adopted by both houses but required no action by the Governor). One-house resolutions are not included in this compilation. Each entry includes bill number(s), sponsor(s), a description, codifications, date signed and effective date. (Refer to the following page for an explanation of the specific contents of entries.) This publication contains a table of Senate and General Assembly bills by chapter law number. This may be useful in determining the chapter law number when only the bill number is known. A subject index is included for assistance in finding enactments pertaining to a particular field of interest. To determine where these enactments have been allocated within the statutes and what existing sections of law are affected, reference may be made to the codification information. The codification indicates the sections(s) of law affected by the passage of the legislation, whether amended, repealed or new. To determine the specific contents of a particular chapter law, refer to the full text of the law which can be found through sources such as the Office of Legislative Services Advance Law Service (available by calling toll free in NJ 1-800-792-8630), or West’s New Jersey Session Law Service (available in many law and local public libraries). The New Jersey Statutes, Advance Laws and text of all bills and resolutions are also available on the New Jersey Legislature’s official web site www.njleg.state.nj.us. ii You Are Viewing an Archived Copy from the New Jersey State Library DESCRIPTION OF ENACTMENT ENTRIES This volume contains a separate entry with information for every enactment of 2013.
