A 418 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Enters NJ in New Jersey-Delaware Territorial Boundary Adjustment Compact.

This bill enters New Jersey into a compact with Delaware to adjust their shared territorial boundary. It specifically transfers ownership of two land parcels - Artificial Island (connected to Salem County, NJ) and Finns Point (connected to Pennsville Township, NJ) - from Delaware to New Jersey. The adjustment addresses a 1682 boundary established before these landforms emerged from the Delaware River, resolving practical challenges Delaware faces managing these areas. A joint commission of surveyors from both states will define the new boundary line, with the compact requiring Delaware’s similar legislation and Congressional approval to take effect.
