ACR 150 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Determines that DEP rules and regulations known as " New Jersey Protecting Against Climate Change - Resilient Environment and Landscapes" are inconsistent with legislative intent.

ACR 150 is a New Jersey Assembly concurrent resolution declaring that the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) proposed "New Jersey Protecting Against Climate Change - Resilient Environment and Landscapes" (NJPACT-REAL) rules are inconsistent with legislative intent. The resolution argues the DEP overstepped its authority by proposing these rules without specific legislative authorization, citing outdated or repealed laws as justification. It gives the DEP 30 days to withdraw or amend the proposed rules, which would significantly expand flood hazard areas and impact coastal property owners through higher costs for building, renovation, and property taxes. This procedural resolution does not change laws but formally requests the DEP to align its rules with legislative intent.
