Bill overview
This bill proposes that New Jersey enter into a compact with Delaware to adjust the territorial boundary. The compact aims to transfer ownership of Artificial Island and Finns Point, two land parcels emerging from the Delaware River, from Delaware to New Jersey. This adjustment would align the current boundary with the 17th-century demarcation, addressing ongoing management challenges for Delaware and establishing New Jersey’s control over these areas. The agreement requires cooperation with federal entities like Congress and the Supreme Court.
