S 1117 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain warehouse operators to implement air pollution reduction and mitigation plans.

New Jersey's S 1117 requires large warehouse operators (over 50,000 sq ft in facilities exceeding 100,000 sq ft) to implement air pollution reduction plans by 36 months after the law takes effect. Operators must earn "points" during a 12-month compliance period through specific actions like purchasing zero-emission vehicles, installing charging stations, using solar power, or funding air filtration systems near schools. The Department of Environmental Protection will develop a standard point system and approve custom plans, with points not transferable but allowing carry-forward of surplus. Non-compliance means the warehouse cannot operate in the state, though operators may pay $1,000 annually into an electric vehicle incentive fund as an alternative.
