S 4671 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Enters NJ in New Jersey-Delaware Territorial Boundary Adjustment Compact.

This bill enters New Jersey into a compact with Delaware to adjust their shared territorial boundary. It specifically transfers ownership of two riverfront parcels - Artificial Island and Finns Point - from Delaware to New Jersey, resolving a long-standing issue where these areas (physically connected to New Jersey) were historically claimed by Delaware due to a 1682 boundary description. The compact establishes a joint commission of surveyors from both states to redraw the boundary line, while preserving Delaware’s control of the Delaware River up to the low water mark. The agreement requires Delaware’s similar legislation and congressional approval to take effect.
