Urges Governor and Attorney General to provide assistance to municipalities in response to unpermitted mass gatherings and "pop-up parties" in New Jersey.

This resolution (SR 45) urges New Jersey's Governor and Attorney General to provide state assistance to municipalities dealing with unpermitted mass gatherings, commonly called "pop-up parties." It directly affects local governments struggling to manage spontaneous events on public streets, beaches, and parks that often involve large crowds, drugs, alcohol, and safety risks - like the 2022 Wildwood incident. The resolution does not create new laws but calls for state support to help municipalities prepare for and respond to these gatherings, referencing the New Jersey State League of Municipalities' 2022 request for action. It emphasizes that current permitting systems for planned events (like festivals) cannot address sudden, unpermitted crowds organized via social media.
