New Jersey Statutes Title 52. State Government, Departments and Officers 52 § 14-17.37

a. Any employer eligible for participation in the program may elect such participation by the adoption of a resolution by its governing body, which would include the name and title of a certifying agent, and a certified copy of the resolution shall be filed with the commission. Any employer making such election shall become a participating employer under the program, subject to and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the commission relating thereto.

b. Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the contrary, the availability of plans within the program may be limited for employees of a participating employer other than the State pursuant to a binding collective negotiations agreement between the employer and its employees or pursuant to the application by the employer, in its sole discretion, of the terms of any collective negotiations agreement binding on the employer to employees for whom there is no majority representative for collective negotiations purpose. The commission shall implement the terms of such an agreement, and the application of such terms, with regard to plan availability for employees of the employer. The commission may impose such restrictions on the terms as the commission may deem necessary to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the program. This subsection shall apply to the State Health Benefits Program and the School Employees' Health Benefits Program.
