A 2953 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits DEP from demolishing or requiring removal of certain cabins or similar structures located in certain tidal wetlands.

This bill (A2953) prohibits New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from demolishing or requiring the removal of certain cabins or similar structures in tidal wetlands within Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County. It specifically protects cabins that serve as general-use way stations available to anyone needing temporary shelter, while granting the state immunity from liability for property damage or injuries occurring at these structures. The prohibition does not apply to cabins on land the state owned before construction, built illegally, or constructed by the state. The bill directly affects cabin owners and users in this specific location, preventing DEP enforcement actions against these historic structures.
