A 5807 New Jersey General Assembly · 2022-2023 Regular Session

Appropriates $58 million from constitutionally dedicated CBT revenues for recreation and conservation purposes to DEP for State capital and park development projects.

This bill allocates $58 million in constitutionally dedicated business tax revenues to New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for state park and conservation projects. The funds will support specific improvements including campground facilities, bridge repairs, historic site maintenance, wildlife habitat work, and park infrastructure across state-managed lands. It uses tax revenues approved by voters in 2014 (Article VIII, Section II, paragraph 6 of the State Constitution) for open space and conservation purposes. The bill directs these resources specifically toward capital development projects within state parks and natural areas, as outlined in the Preserve New Jersey Act.
