Notice of Proposed Rules

Date of Proposal:
May 16, 2005

Proposal Number:

PRN 2005-169

Proposal Summary:
The New Jersey Division on Civil Rights proposes to readopt with amendments its rules pertaining to Housing for Older Persons. The Law Against Discrimination prohibits housing discrimination based on familial status, but provides that this prohibition does not apply to housing for older persons.

The rules proposed for readoption clarify the types of housing for older persons that automatically qualify for this exemption. Certain amendments to the existing rules are proposed in order for the Division to achieve certification as a substantially equivalent agency by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, which would permit the Division to enter into a work-sharing agreement with HUD. The proposed readoption with amendments appears in the May 16, 2005 edition of the New Jersey Register.

Summary of Proposal:
A summary of the proposed readoption with amendments is posted on the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights Web site at: www.NJCivilRights.org/proposed_rules.html.

Public Comment:

Public comment on these proposed rules will be accepted until July 15, 2005. Please direct all comments to:

Gary LoCassio, Assistant Director
New Jersey Division on Civil Rights
140 East Front Street
P.O. Box 089
