III. FLESCH READING EASE TEST
1. Identify any language not considered "text" as defined in N.J.A.C.
11:2-18.3 of the regulation on policy readability. This language may
be identified by reference to the policy section numbers.
2. If any of the language identified in item 1 is required, permitted or
approved by a law, regulation, rule or published interpretation of a
State or Federal agency, identify both the language and the law, rule
or interpretation.
3. If the text of the policy form does not score at least 40 on the Flesch
reading ease test, provide an explanation to enable the Commissioner
to determine whether the lower score is warranted by the nature of the
policy form (N.J.A.C. 11:2-18.4(i)3 of the regulation). A lower score
will be accepted only in exceptional circumstances.
