Authorizes municipalities to establish dredging control reserve fund.
This bill allows New Jersey municipalities to create a "dredging control reserve fund" using unspent annual dredging budget funds. The fund can be used for dredging-related activities like maintaining navigation channels, managing dredged material (e.g., cleaning or reusing sediment), and supporting maritime or tourism industries. Municipalities must pass a resolution to access the fund, and any reimbursed costs must return to the reserve. The bill creates no new taxes or spending but provides a mechanism to reallocate existing dredging funds for broader waterway management needs.
