Requires DEP to reimburse local units for costs incurred in responding to emergencies in State parks and forests.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to reimburse local governments and fire districts for actual costs they incur when responding to emergencies (like fires or accidents) in state parks or forests. Local units must submit a written invoice with documentation within 30 days of the emergency, and the DEP must pay the reimbursement within 30 days of receiving the invoice. The law applies only to costs incurred after the bill becomes effective, covering counties, municipalities, fire districts, and other local entities. It creates a clear process for cost recovery but does not change existing emergency response responsibilities.
