Requires DEP to reimburse local units for costs incurred in responding to emergencies in State parks and forests.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to reimburse counties, municipalities, fire districts, and other local government entities for actual costs they incur when responding to emergencies (like rescues or natural disasters) within state parks or forests. Local units must submit a written invoice with cost documentation to the DEP within 30 days of the emergency, and the DEP must process reimbursement within 30 days of receiving the invoice. The law applies only to emergency response costs paid after the bill becomes effective. It does not change existing responsibilities but provides a clear reimbursement process for local governments covering these specific costs.
