Bill overview
This bill ensures that New Jersey’s state parks, forests, recreation areas, historic sites, natural areas, and wildlife management areas remain open to the public for up to seven days if a state of emergency is declared due to a failure to pass a state budget as mandated by the New Jersey Constitution. The Department of Environmental Protection will create a plan to maintain essential services during this period, designating necessary state employees. This measure aims to preserve public access to these areas during budget-related emergencies.
