Under N.J.S.A. 52:14B-4(c), what is the maximum effective period of an emergency rule adopted by DOBI without prior notice and public comment?
A5 years, automatically renewable without further action or any subsequent public comment process
BIndefinitely, until repealed by joint resolution of the Legislature or the Governor
60 days, unless the agency regularly adopts the rule through APA notice-and-comment
D24 hours, after which judicial reauthorization from a Superior Court judge is required
Why this is the answer
N.J.S.A. 52:14B-4(c) permits emergency rulemaking when an imminent peril to public health, safety, or welfare exists. The rule takes effect immediately upon filing but expires automatically after 60 days unless the agency completes regular APA notice-and-comment adoption within that window.
