Establishes abandoned mine reclamation program in DOT.

This bill establishes the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program within New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to address hazards from abandoned mines. It requires the DOT to create a statewide plan mapping all abandoned mines, identifying the most dangerous sites (like those threatening infrastructure or water quality), and ranking reclamation projects by priority and cost. The program will fund reclamation work through a dedicated "Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program Fund" (using federal grants, state funds, or donations), allowing the DOT to carry out projects directly, contract with firms, or provide grants to local governments or property owners. Property owners must be notified before DOT access, but the program prohibits requiring owners to pay for reclamation work. The bill directly affects citizens at risk from mine subsidence or water contamination and property owners near abandoned mines.
