What is the length of the estoppel period prior to the adoption of the audience?

The estoppel period prior to the adoption of the audience is set at 20 days. This period is important as it provides stakeholders and the public with a sufficient timeframe to review the proposed actions or changes and raise any concerns or objections. The 20-day period allows for transparency and ensures that the interests of the community are taken into account before any decisions are finalized.

While other time frames may be common in different contexts or jurisdictions, New Jersey specifies 20 days in order to balance efficiency in public administration with the need for public involvement and oversight. This promotes good governance principles by ensuring adequate notification and opportunity for input.
