N.J. Admin. Code Tit. 10, ch. 98
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, cites as a requirement the submission of a State Plan for Vocational Rehabilitation Services (State Plan). The State Plan has some mandatory features and some which are state options. Its purpose is primarily to assure that the vocational rehabilitation program under Title I in each state will have certain basic purposes and features in all participating states and at the same time, within these bounds, permit state variations responsive to individual state needs, initiatives and preferences. In order for a state to be eligible for grants for any fiscal year from the allotment of funds under Title I of the Act, it shall submit for such fiscal years a State Plan meeting Federal requirements. Prior to 1979 a State Plan was required annually. Since 1979, a three-year State Plan has been required. The State must amend its State Plan whenever necessary to reflect any material change in a phase of state law, organization, policy or agency operations which affects the administration of the State Plan.
Chapter 98, Rehabilitation Services State Plan, was never published, only referenced, in the New Jersey Administrative Code. The State Plan is not regulatory; therefore, it is not necessary that it be filed pursuant to Administrative Procedure Act requirements. Although there have been filings of the State Plan in the past for purely informational purposes, there have been no filings of the State Plan with the Office of Administrative Law since 1983.
Prior amendments to the State Plan which were filed are as follows:
