Requires DOT to prioritize green stormwater infrastructure in design, construction, reconstruction, and repair of public highways.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) to prioritize green stormwater infrastructure - such as permeable pavement, rain gardens, and vegetated swales - in the design, construction, and repair of state highways funded by the Special Transportation Fund. It directly affects DOT projects on public highways, mandating they use methods that reduce stormwater runoff by treating it through soil or vegetation instead of traditional drainage. The DOT must establish a program to implement this prioritization "to the extent practicable," as determined by the Commissioner. The bill takes immediate effect and defines green infrastructure broadly to include practices that store, reuse, or treat stormwater naturally.
