New Jersey Statutes, Title: 30, INSTITUTIONS AND AGENCIES
Chapter 6e: Findings, declarations relative to establishment of Office of Disability Services.
Section: 30:6e-1: Findings, declarations relative to establishment of Office of Disability Services.
1. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. New Jersey citizens with disabilities want the same things in life as the other residents of this State: to be productive citizens who contribute to the communities in which they live, to be good family members and good neighbors, and to work hard at jobs that provide satisfaction and independence.
b. These individuals deserve the recognition and support of State, county and local governments to protect their rights and to reach their full potential.
c. To fulfill this responsibility, State government should establish a designated agency, to work cooperatively with appropriate agencies in each county, which is empowered to serve citizens with disabilities effectively so that comprehensive programs can be developed and coordinated on a Statewide basis to support the efforts of these citizens to overcome those barriers which their disabilities may pose to reaching their goals.
