This law mandated that each local govern- <br />ment in the State prepare and adopt a comprehensive plan <br />meeting the criteria established in the legislation. This law <br />was further modified by the 1986 legislature through the <br />enactment of a glitch bill, legislation intended to correct <br />some of the minor oversights and problems with the 1985 law. <br />Besides the glitch bill, the 1986 legislature also appropriated <br />$8.8 million to assist local goverments in complying with the <br />new comprehensive planning requirements. <br />Since passage of the 1985 Planning Act, the State Department of <br />Community Affairs (DCA) has prepared several administrative <br />rules to implement the legislation.

Rule <br />9J-5, in particular, provides a detailed listing of all the <br />requirements which must be met by the County in the submission <br />of its required comprehensive plan. The staff has used this <br />rule as a basis for developing a work program to meet the new <br />comprehensive planning requirements.
