Overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to reimburse local government entities, such as counties and municipalities, for the costs they incur when responding to emergencies within state parks and forests. Local units must submit detailed invoices to the DEP within 30 days of an emergency response, and the DEP is then obligated to reimburse them within 30 days of receiving the invoice. The reimbursement applies only to costs incurred after the bill’s enactment. This aims to provide financial support to local responders who assist in these critical situations.
