S 533 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires transportation capital project and infrastructure safety inspections to continue if emergency is declared due to failure to enact general appropriation law as prescribed by State Constitution.

This bill ensures that transportation safety inspections continue during a state budget crisis. If New Jersey fails to pass the annual state budget by the constitutional deadline (Article VIII, Section II, paragraph 2), the bill requires the Transportation Trust Fund Authority to keep funding inspections for both existing and newly built transportation infrastructure. It designates inspection staff as essential personnel, guaranteeing these critical safety checks proceed without interruption during the emergency. The bill directly affects transportation safety operations and the employees conducting inspections.
