Statement on Signing of Executive Order No. 7 by Gov. Sherrill

The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce strongly supports Executive Order No. 7 signed on Jan. 23 by Gov. Mikie Sherrill. By temporarily pausing the adoption of pending administrative rules and regulations for 90 days, this Executive Order gives the new Administration the opportunity to ensure that regulatory actions reflect the state's priorities, especially tackling high costs, strengthening our workforce, and fostering an environment where businesses can grow and create jobs.

This pause establishes a transparent process for agencies to identify rules and regulations that are critical and should proceed. At a time when affordability and economic competitiveness are top concerns for families and employers across our state, this measured approach to regulatory review will help ensure that government works more efficiently, is accountable to the people of New Jersey, and supports sustainable growth for years to come.
