Prohibits setting of snares or cable restraint traps on certain National Guard property; establishes penalties.
This bill prohibits setting snares or cable restraint traps on National Guard properties that are 150+ acres and located in municipalities with at least 1,500 people per square mile (based on 2020 census data). It directly affects individuals or entities setting such traps on these designated lands, including areas like the New Jersey National Guard Training Center. The law imposes civil penalties of $100-$200 for a first offense and $200-$500 for subsequent offenses, with each trap considered a separate violation. Enforcement is authorized for the Commissioner of Environmental Protection, with penalties collectible through summary court proceedings under New Jersey’s Penalty Enforcement Law.
