Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 26:4-100.6
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- State: extends to and includes any State, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia and the Canal Zone. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
It is hereby declared to be the policy of the State that no child shall be denied vaccination against poliomyelitis because of inability to pay the cost thereof. It is hereby found that there exists a shortage of poliomyelitis vaccine (hereinafter referred to as “the vaccine”) and that the public interest requires that the purchase, sale, distribution and use of the vaccine shall, so long as the shortage shall exist, be controlled and regulated as herein provided, to the end that fair and equitable distribution may be had and the vaccine be administered to children and others in accordance with priority groups based on the relative susceptibility of various age groups of children and others to poliomyelitis.
