The "Family and Private Burial Grounds Preservation Act."

This bill establishes the "Family and Private Burial Grounds Preservation Act" to protect family or private burial sites in New Jersey that are not owned by governments, religious groups, or commercial cemeteries. It requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create and maintain a public map of all such burial grounds, oversee their preservation, and mandate permits for construction or development near these sites. The law directly affects property owners with family burial grounds and developers planning projects on or near these locations. Key provisions include prohibiting unauthorized disturbance of burial grounds, requiring DEP review of nearby construction, and enabling the department to authorize permanent disinterment only under strict conditions.
