A 4125 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs DEP to lift conservation restrictions imposed as condition of CAFRA permit under certain conditions.

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to lift conservation restrictions tied to CAFRA permits under specific conditions. It allows property owners to remove these restrictions if the land is needed for expanding an existing special needs school. As a condition, the DEP must require a new conservation restriction on a parcel at least twice as large, located within 20 miles of the original property. This policy change directly affects landowners seeking to expand special needs schools and requires compensatory conservation measures.
