Introduced · New Jersey General Assembly · Lead sponsor

Requires DEP to modify certain timelines and requirements for certain approvals associated with development of affordable housing projects.

Maddy summaryNew Jersey Assembly Bill A5383 requires the Department of Environmental Protection to shorten review timelines and adjust approval requirements for affordable housing projects that meet specific legal criteria, such as being part of an adopted fair share plan or court-approved settlement. Key provisions include a 180-day deadline for water quality management plan amendments with automatic approval if no decision is made, a 90-day limit for issuing letters of interpretation, and the requirement to process multiple environmental permits concurrently rather than sequentially. The bill also presumes that sites designated in fair share plans are consistent with water quality plans unless a direct federal law violation is demonstrated, and it mandates that previously approved permits remain valid despite any new regulations. These changes are designed to expedite the development of residential projects intended to satisfy municipal constitutional housing obligations.
