Supreme Court of New Jersey

Charles Worthington, County Executive and Mario Floriani

January 6, 198288 N.J. 183

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the Governor’s Executive Orders 106 and 108 were valid exercises of emergency authority under the Disaster Control Act, that the prison‑overcrowding crisis constituted an emergency, that the orders were rationally related and narrowly tailored, did not conflict with existing statutes, and did not violate the constitutional separation of powers.
