New Jersey Statutes Title 17. Corporations and Institutions for Finance and Insurance 17 § 29AA-6

Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, insurers shall file copies of all policy forms for approval with the commissioner at least 30 days prior to becoming effective. Unless disapproved by the commissioner prior to its effective date specifying in what respects the form is not in compliance with the standards set forth in section 11 of this act,  1 any such policy form filed with the department shall be deemed approved as of its effective date, provided, however, that policy forms shall be effective only with respect to those policy form filings which are accompanied by an explanation and identification of the changes being made on a form prescribed by the commissioner. In his discretion, the commissioner may waive such 30-day waiting period or any portion thereof. Except as provided in section 12 of this act,  2 this section shall not apply to policy forms exempted by order of the commissioner or those used in connection with special risks other than those which qualify pursuant to paragraph (2) of subsection k. of section 3 of this act.  3
