New Jersey Animal Rights Alliance and the Bear Education and Resource Group v. New Jersey Dept. of Environmental Protection

10-22-07* A-1463-05T3; A-1382-06T3

The 2005 Comprehensive Black Bear Management Plan should
have been, but was not, adopted pursuant to the rulemaking
provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act. Having not been
so adopted, there was no black bear management policy in effect
in 2006 or 2007, and the decision of the Commissioner of the
Department of Environmental Protection not to implement the
policy is therefore affirmed. [*Approved for Publication date]
