S 392 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Imposes moratorium on affordable housing litigation until December 31, 2028.

This bill imposes a temporary pause on new lawsuits challenging municipalities' legal duty to provide affordable housing under the "Fourth Round" obligations starting in 2025. It blocks such litigation from commencing before January 1, 2029, and remains in effect until December 31, 2028. Existing cases filed prior to the bill's enactment are not affected. The moratorium aims to allow the legislature time to develop new rules for affordable housing obligations instead of relying on court litigation.
