Prohibits DEP from demolishing or requiring removal of certain cabins or similar structures located in certain tidal wetlands.
This bill prohibits New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from removing or requiring the removal of specific cabins in Lower Alloways Creek Township's tidal wetlands. These cabins must serve as public shelters for anyone needing temporary lodging, such as travelers or hikers. The state gains legal immunity for injuries or property damage at these cabins, but exemptions apply if cabins were built illegally, on land the state owned before construction, or built by the state itself. The policy directly affects cabin users and DEP enforcement actions in this specific location.
