Prohibits DEP from demolishing or requiring removal of certain cabins or similar structures located in certain tidal wetlands.
S 2251 prohibits New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from demolishing or requiring the removal of specific cabins or similar structures in tidal wetlands within Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County. These protected structures must serve as general-use way stations available to anyone needing temporary shelter. The bill also grants the State immunity from liability for property damage or injuries occurring at these cabins, though this protection excludes cabins built on land the State owned before construction, built illegally, or constructed by the State. The measure directly affects the eight historic cabins in question, which the DEP previously ordered removed.
