Bill overview
The Liberty State Park Protection Act aims to safeguard Liberty State Park in New Jersey by restricting the Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) ability to commercialize or privatize the park. It prohibits the DEP from transferring property rights within the park and limits agreements with private entities to activities that enhance the visitor experience, excluding the marina and Liberty Science Center. The bill also mandates public participation and requires the DEP to hold regular public forums to gather input on proposed changes to the park’s land use.
