A 419 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State parks, forests, State-owned beaches, and MVC offices to remain open to public if emergency is declared due to failure to enact general appropriation law as prescribed by NJ Constitution.

This bill requires New Jersey State parks, forests, State-owned beaches, and MVC offices to remain open to the public if a state of emergency is declared due to the state failing to pass the annual budget by the constitutional deadline. During this emergency period, the state cannot charge parking fees at facilities serving parks, forests, or beaches. It also mandates that MVC agencies, inspection facilities, and supporting offices stay operational with no service fees, and designates relevant staff as essential personnel. The bill ensures continued public access to these facilities and services during budget impasses, without changing the underlying budget process.
