Establishes abandoned mine reclamation program in DOT.

This bill establishes a statewide program within New Jersey's Department of Transportation to address safety hazards from abandoned mines. It requires the DOT to create a reclamation plan mapping all abandoned mines, identifying the most dangerous sites (like those threatening infrastructure or causing subsidence), and prioritizing projects to stabilize or reclaim them. The program will use a dedicated fund (funded by federal grants, state appropriations, and donations) to finance reclamation work, which may include contracting with private firms or providing grants. Property owners near affected mines will be notified before DOT enters their land for reclamation, but the state cannot require them to pay for these projects. The bill directly affects DOT operations and property owners in areas with abandoned mining sites.
