Requires certain local authorities to inspect, maintain, and repair fire hydrants in planned real estate developments.

This bill requires municipal authorities in New Jersey to inspect, maintain, and repair fire hydrants on private streets within planned real estate developments (like housing subdivisions with shared elements), treating them the same as hydrants on public streets. It applies to all developments meeting the definition of "planned real estate development" (excluding timeshares), regardless of whether the streets are officially dedicated to the municipality. Authorities must cover all costs for these hydrants and follow the same standards as for public street hydrants. The law takes immediate effect to enhance public safety by ensuring consistent fire hydrant maintenance in residential areas.
