This proposal was published in the July 21, 2003 New Jersey Register. The purpose of the extension is to seek comment on feasible mechanisms that retailers could use to demonstrate compliance with the rules. Options being considered by the Department for retailers to demonstrate compliance include any one of the following:

1. Written communication between the retailer and the manufacturers and distributors that the retailer will accept only products for sale in New Jersey that comply with N.J.A.C. 7:27-23;

2. Written agreements between the retailer and the manufacturers and distributors in which the manufacturers and distributors commit to supply to the retailer only products that comply with N.J.A.C. 7:27-23; or

3. The retailer’s use of invoices, purchase orders and other contractual and billing documents, which specify that the retailer will only accept products that comply with N.J.A.C. 7:27-23.

The comment period for this proposal was originally scheduled to close on September 19, 2003. The Department is extending the comment period by 26 days to October 15, 2003. Written comments may be submitted by close of business, October 15, 2003, to:
