Suspends "Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act" until certain conditions are met.

S 1871 suspends New Jersey's 2004 Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act until the state establishes a dedicated funding source for acquiring land in the Highlands preservation area. This requires the state to fund land purchases only from owners who have owned their land continuously since 2004 (or their immediate family), using a specific appraisal method comparing current and 2004 land-use rules to determine fair value. The bill directly affects landowners in the Highlands preservation area who face development restrictions under the suspended act, requiring the state to provide compensation before the original law resumes. The suspension ends 30 days after the funding source is created and the appraisal process is implemented.
