Urges Governor and Attorney General to provide assistance to municipalities in response to unpermitted mass gatherings and "pop-up parties" in New Jersey.
This non-binding Assembly Resolution (AR 63) urges the Governor and Attorney General to provide state assistance to New Jersey municipalities dealing with unpermitted mass gatherings, commonly called "pop-up parties." It directly affects local governments struggling to manage sudden, large crowds in public spaces like beaches and parks, which often occur without advance notice and pose safety risks. The resolution requests state support to help municipalities prepare resources, hold organizers accountable, and prevent dangerous incidents like the 2022 Wildwood "street take over" that caused injuries and fatalities. It does not create new laws but calls for enhanced coordination and resources to address these spontaneous events.
