Requires installation of certain rescue supplies on certain bridges.
This bill requires New Jersey's transportation authorities - including the Department of Transportation, Turnpike Authority, and others - to install rescue kits on all bridges over 100 feet long that cross waterways. Each kit must contain a rescue tube and life jacket for use by emergency responders in drowning incidents. The installation must be completed within six months of the law's effective date. The bill directly affects bridges under these agencies' jurisdiction, aiming to improve rapid response capabilities during water-related emergencies.
