Determines that DEP rules and regulations known as " New Jersey Protecting Against Climate Change - Resilient Environment and Landscapes" are inconsistent with legislative intent.
SCR 122 is a joint Senate-Assembly resolution declaring that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) proposed "NJPACT-REAL" climate rules - which would expand flood zones and affect coastal development - are inconsistent with legislative intent. It directs the DEP to amend or withdraw these rules within 30 days, or the legislature could later invalidate them. The resolution directly affects the DEP's rulemaking authority and could impact coastal property owners through potential changes in flood zone regulations and associated costs. This procedural resolution does not create new law but challenges the DEP's authority to unilaterally implement climate-related regulations.
