As previously reported, the New Jersey Department of Labor (NJDOL) has requested comments on its proposed regulations implementing the Opportunity to Compete Act (also known as the “ban the box” law). On March 30, 2015, Ogletree Deakins submitted detailed comments and questions to the NJDOL. A copy of that letter is available here. A public hearing on the proposed regulations was held on April 7, 2015, and the final regulations are expected to be issued this spring.
