Provides exemption from DEP permit fees to municipalities after natural disaster involving flooding.
This bill exempts New Jersey municipalities from paying Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) permit fees for repairs following flooding disasters. It directly affects municipalities needing to fix flood-damaged infrastructure like roads, buildings, or flood control systems after a declared natural disaster involving flooding. To qualify, municipalities must prove to the DEP that the work is necessary due to flood damage, using a form the DEP will publish in the New Jersey Register and on its website within 90 days. The DEP must also share this application process with the Department of Community Affairs and distribute it to affected municipalities after a disaster. The exemption takes effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
