New Jersey Statutes Title 52. State Government, Departments and Officers 52 § 27D-123.5

The Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs, in consultation with the State Board of Education, is directed to develop a building code specifically designed to foster cost-effective school building construction, while ensuring through its provisions that necessary health and safety requirements are met. The code shall be designed for use throughout the State and shall supplement the State Uniform Construction Code, P.L.1975, c. 217 (C.52:27D-119 et seq.). The commissioner may promulgate this code as a separate document from the State Uniform Construction Code, or may, if the commissioner finds it feasible and useful, incorporate its provisions directly into, and make them an integral part of, that code.
