AR 43 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Constitutes special committee of General Assembly entitled "Assembly Select Committee on New Jersey Transit and the Bound Brook Flood."

This resolution creates a special committee called the "Assembly Select Committee on New Jersey Transit and the Bound Brook Flood" to investigate a 2021 flood event in Bound Brook, New Jersey. The committee will examine New Jersey Transit's role in the failure of a flood control system during Hurricane Ida (September 1, 2021), specifically whether a train blocking a flood gate contributed to the flooding that damaged homes and businesses. The committee will review NJ Transit's finances, operations, and management related to the flood control system and may recommend legislative actions to prevent similar failures in the future. This is a procedural resolution establishing an investigative body, not a law changing policy.
