Requires DOT to assume responsibility for improvements and operations and maintenance of Palisades Interstate Parkway.

This bill transfers responsibility for operating, maintaining, and improving the Palisades Interstate Parkway within New Jersey from the Palisades Interstate Park Commission to the New Jersey Department of Transportation (DOT). The DOT would assume these duties specifically for the portions of the parkway located in New Jersey, ending the Commission's current management role. The bill allows the Commission and DOT to enter a contract where the Commission could still perform work if the DOT covers all associated costs. This change shifts parkway management to a state transportation agency while preserving potential collaboration through funding agreements.
