Establishes award of attorney's fees to prevailing party in municipal services dispute.

This bill would allow courts in New Jersey to award attorney fees to the winning party in lawsuits where a municipality fails to provide services (or pay for them) to qualified private communities under existing law. It also permits courts to impose civil penalties of $2,500-$10,000 per violation against municipalities that breach these service requirements. The bill requires detailed fee applications with itemized costs and clarifies that settlements do not qualify a party as "prevailing" for fee purposes. Its goal is to encourage early resolution of disputes and reduce costly litigation between municipalities and qualified private communities.
