Provides exemption from DEP permit fees to municipalities after natural disaster involving flooding.
This bill exempts New Jersey municipalities from paying Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) permit fees when repairing flood damage or building flood control infrastructure after a natural disaster involving flooding. Municipalities must prove to the DEP that the work is necessary for disaster recovery to qualify for the fee waiver. The DEP must publish application instructions within 90 days via the New Jersey Register, its website, and by sharing details with the Department of Community Affairs and affected municipalities. The exemption applies to permits for repairing roads, buildings, or flood control facilities damaged by flooding.
