Provides for no net loss of DEP lands for fishing, hunting, and trapping purposes.

This New Jersey bill (S 1838) requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to prevent any net loss of state park, forest, and wildlife area acreage available for public fishing, hunting, and trapping. It mandates that if land is closed for these activities, the DEP must quickly find replacement land to maintain the total acreage. The law allows exceptions only for public safety, wildlife protection, or land exchanges with equal or greater value. It also requires the DEP to annually report acreage availability, closures, and replacements to the legislature.
