Requires DEP to assume responsibility for dredging of waterways providing boat access to lagoon communities; appropriates $6,000,000.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to take responsibility for dredging all waterways providing boat access to lagoon communities - such as Cedar Creek, Loveladies Lagoons, and Mystic Island Lagoons - regardless of whether they're officially designated as navigational channels. The DEP must create a list of these communities and a dredging schedule within one year, complete all initial dredging within two years, and establish a maintenance plan with annual costs within two years and 180 days. The bill appropriates $6 million total ($5 million for initial dredging, $1 million for maintenance planning) from the state General Fund. It directly affects residents and property owners in these coastal communities who rely on boat access for daily life and economic activity.
