<p>The Division of Administrative Rules within the NJ Office of Administrative Law reviews all State rulemaking notices for compliance with the Administrative Procedure Act, <em>N.J.S.A.</em> 52:14B-1 et seq., and the Office’s Rules for Agency Rulemaking, <a href="http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/njcode/"><em><strong>N.J.A.C.</strong></em><strong> 1:30</strong></a><em>.</em> These notices are then processed by the Division for publication in the New Jersey Register, published twice a month. Following publication of adopted rules in the New Jersey Register, the rules are incorporated into the New Jersey Administrative Code.</p>
<p> </p>
The Division of Administrative Rules compiles and maintains documentary records of rulemaking adoptions going back to the original New Jersey Administrative Code in 1970, and in some cases beyond. The Division also maintains a substantially complete set of updates to the Code. These documents enable research into the background and historic development of a rule provision

<p>WHEREAS all the constitutional authority ever possessed by<br />the kings of Great Britain over these colonies, || or their other<br />dominions, was, by compact, derived from the people, and held of<br />them, for the common interest of the whole society; allegiance and<br />protection are, in the nature of things, reciprocal ties, each<br />equally depending upon the other, and liable to be dissolved by<br />the others being refused or withdrawn. And whereas George the<br />Third, king of Great Britain, has refused protection to the good<br />people of these colonies; and, by assenting to sundry acts of the<br />British parliament, attempted to subject them to the absolute<br />dominion of that body; and has also made war upon them, in the<br />most cruen and unnatural manner, for no other cause, than<br />asserting their just rights -- all civil authority under him is<br />necesarily at an end, and a dissolution of government in each<br />colony has consequently taken place.</p>
<p>And whereas, in the present deplorable situation of these<br />colonies, exposed to the fury of a cruel and relentless enemy,<br />some form of government is absolutely necessary, not only for the<br />preservation of good order, but also the more effectually to unite<br />the people, and enable them to exert their whole force in their<br />own necessary defence: and as the honorable the continental<br />congress, the supreme council of the American colonies, has<br />advised such of the colonies as have not yet gone into measures,<br />to adopt for themselves, respectively, such government as shall<br />best conduce to their own happiness and safety, and the well-being<br />of America in general: -- We, the representatives of the colony of<br />New Jersey, having been elected by all the counties, in the freest<br />manner, and in congress assembled, have, after mature<br />deliberations, agreed upon a set of charter rights and the form of<br />a Constitution, in manner following, viz...</p>

Senator Cory Booker - New Jersey. Former Mayor of Newark NJ 2006-2013
<h4><a href="https://vmps.omeka.net/exhibits/show/leadership-public-service/leadership-public-service">Return to Leadership for the Public Service</a></h4>
<p>Senator Cory A. Booker was Mayor of Newark from 2006 – 2013. He won a special election to fill the term of the late Senator Frank Lautenberg in 2013 - and became New Jersey’s first African-American senator. He serves on the Senate's Commerce, Science and Transportation, Small Business and Entrepreneurship and Environment and Public Works Committees. Under his leadership as mayor, New Jersey’s largest city, Newark, entered its biggest period of economic growth since the 1960s – the first new downtown hotels were constructed in 40 years, the first new office towers in 20. During Cory’s tenure, overall crime declined and the quality of life for residents improved with more affordable housing, new green spaces and parks, increased educational opportunities and more efficient city services.</p>
<p>Senator Booker was born in Washington, D.C. His father, Cary, was from North Carolina and the son of a single mom, and his mother, Carolyn, is a Detroit native. They both worked for IBM and relocated the family to Harrington Park in Bergen County, New Jerey. Housing rights activists helped the family buy their first home after initially being turned down because of the color of their skin.</p>
A star athlete at Northern Valley High School in Old Tappan, Cory Booker earned bachelors and masters degrees from Stanford University, where he also played for the football team. He ran a crisis hotline for students and worked with disadvantaged youth in East Palo Alto. He then attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar where he ran a student tutoring and mentoring program in a disadvantaged community. He later earned his law degree from Yale Law School, where he helped lead free legal clinics for New Haven residents.
