Authorizes imposition of penalties and forfeiture of economic development subsidies for certain businesses that violate State environmental laws.
This bill requires businesses receiving New Jersey economic development subsidies (over $25,000) to pay for environmental cleanup costs if they violate state environmental laws. It authorizes the Environmental Commissioner to issue orders for compliance, pursue fines, or seek civil penalties for violations causing pollution incidents (like air, land, or water discharges). Businesses found responsible must cover all "costs to address the environmental incident," including remediation, relocation, and health services for affected residents. The bill directly affects businesses receiving state subsidies who violate environmental laws, potentially leading to forfeiture of their subsidies and payment of cleanup costs.
