45:11A-14 Report to Governor, Legislature.

6. a. One year after New Jersey becomes a party to the compact, as provided by this act, the Attorney General shall submit a report to the Governor and, pursuant to section 2 of P.L.1991, c.164 (C.52:14-19.1), to the Legislature, evaluating whether the State's continued participation in the compact is in the best interest of the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. At a minimum, the report shall: (1) describe the beneficial and detrimental effects, evidenced during the preceding year, which have resulted from the State's participation in the compact; (2) describe any potential long-term effects that have not yet been experienced, but which are likely to result from the State's continued participation in the compact; (3) indicate whether any other party state has changed its licensure requirements in the preceding year to make them less stringent than the requirements in this State; and (4) provide a recommendation as to whether the State should remain a party to the compact.

b. The Legislature may withdraw this State from the compact if the report submitted by the Attorney General, pursuant to subsection a. of this section, indicates that another party state has changed its licensure requirements to make them substantially lower than the requirements of this State, or that withdrawal from the compact is in the best interests of the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of this State.
