Can anyone tell me if the FPN's are actual code or recommendation?

Thanks

Fine print notes are not enforceable as code. They are included just for informational purposes. Take a look at 90.5(C)

There also is a style manual for the NEC that gives more information on how its formatted.

Did NJ accept the FPN's as law?

5:23-3.16 ELECTRICAL SUBCODE

i. Codes and standards referenced in the Fine Print Notes (FPNs) of the electrical subcode (NEC 2002 2005) shall be considered adopted by reference to the extent prescribed by each related section.
