Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Section 55:13A-20.1 of the New Jersey statutes (N.J.S.A. 55:13A-1 et seq.) establishes the official short title of this law as the "Violation Disclosure Act," enacted in 1975. This provision is purely a naming clause and does not itself impose requirements, prohibitions, or rights. Its practical effect is to give the broader act a recognizable title that can be used in legal references, documents, and citations.
