A 4022 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes development to enhance energy production through solar panel orientation.

This bill amends New Jersey's master planning law to require municipalities to include a climate risk analysis in their land use plans. The analysis must evaluate threats from climate change, such as flooding, hurricanes, and sea-level rise, and propose strategies to reduce vulnerabilities. It applies to all land use plans adopted after the effective date of a prior law (P.L.2021, c.6), affecting local governments during their planning processes. The change aims to integrate climate resilience into community development decisions without specifying new energy infrastructure.
