NJBIA President and CEO Michele Siekerka issued the following statement regarding the signing of Executive Order No. 7 today by Gov. Mikie Sherrill, which institutes a 90-day pause on new rule proposals and adoption of pending regulations to ensure a more affordable New Jersey.
“NJBIA very much supports Governor Sherrill’s signing of this EO today.
“Obviously, the business community has been very concerned about pending regulations left over from the Murphy administration which we feel will do great damage to the economy – most notably the proposed Department of Labor’s independent contractor rules, data privacy rules under the Attorney General’s office, and several others.
“But beyond that, Governor Sherrill’s pause on the proposed regs is simply good governance. With this change in leadership, it’s important to take account of what is pending and what is proposed to ensure it aligns with the Sherrill administration’s priorities.
“As I often say, a good process yields a fair result. NJBIA thanks Governor Sherrill for this timeout and we look forward to continuing conversations about proposed regulations, both current and future.”
