No qualification rating of any bidder shall be influenced by the bidder's race, religion, sex, national origin, nationality or place of residence.
Such regulations shall not be effective unless they have been adopted as provided in the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.).
