Subchapter 1 - APPLICABILITY
Section 1:6A-1.1 - Applicability

(a) The rules in this chapter shall apply to the notice and hearing of matters arising out of the Special Education Program of the Department of Education, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:14. Any aspect of notice and hearing not covered by these special hearing rules shall be governed by the Uniform Administrative Procedure Rules (U.A.P.R.) contained in N.J.A.C. 1:1. To the extent that these rules are inconsistent with the U.A.P.R., these rules shall apply.

(b) These rules are established in implementation of Federal law, at 20 U.S.C.A. 1415 et seq. and 34 CFR 300 et seq. These rules do not duplicate each provision of Federal law, but highlight some of the key Federal provisions which form the source or authority for these rules. Where appropriate, the Federal source or authority for a rule or Federal elaboration of a rule will be indicated in brackets following the rule. In any case where these rules could be construed as conflicting with Federal requirements, the Federal requirements shall apply.

(c) Since these rules are established in implementation of Federal law, they may not be relaxed except as specifically provided herein or pursuant to Federal law.
