Changes membership of Lake Hopatcong Commission and requires DEP to develop water level management plan for Lake Hopatcong to be approved by commission.

This bill changes the composition of New Jersey's Lake Hopatcong Commission, replacing the ex-officio Environmental Protection and Community Affairs Commissioners with two additional public members appointed by the Governor. It requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to develop a water level management plan within 90 days, covering lake objectives, drawdowns, and shoreline construction guidelines. The plan must be approved by a majority vote of the full commission before DEP can adopt or revise it, and DEP must also seek commission approval for any action lowering the lake below 8.5 feet. These changes directly affect the commission's governance, DEP's management authority, and local municipalities with representation on the commission.
