The New Jersey State Library has proposed amendments of the Library Construction Bond Act regulations : N.J.A.C. 15:24-2.5, 2.6, and 4.1.  The proposals are now available for comment.

The amendments proposed address issues that have arisen in implementation of grant awards in the context of the pandemic and its continuing effects, as well as a drafting error. The impact of the pandemic on local governments and construction costs and availability of workers has been significant. The proposed amendments are designed to remove unnecessary burdens on grantees in planning and executing legislatively approved projects.

Please forward any written comments by September 1, 2023 to jnelson@NJSTATELIB.ORG or by U.S. mail.
