Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey local governments and the Department of Community Affairs to temporarily suspend fees for building inspections and occupancy certificates for homes rented by individuals identified by FEMA as displaced due to Hurricane Sandy. This suspension would apply for six months after the bill’s enactment, providing relief to those rebuilding their lives after the storm. The local governments can still collect fees, but must report them to the State Treasurer to receive funding to cover the uncollected fees.
