S 1922 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides for automatic approval of air pollution control permits after 90-day review period.

This bill modifies New Jersey's air pollution control permit process. It requires applicants to document specific pollution control technologies based on their facility's emissions level (e.g., BACT for major sources), but eliminates this documentation burden for smaller sources below certain thresholds. The bill also creates a 15-year emissions reduction plan option, allowing facilities to meet milestones instead of strict permit schedules, with periodic reviews. It does not establish automatic permit approval after 90 days; instead, it clarifies review timelines and documentation requirements under existing law. The bill directly affects businesses seeking air pollution permits, particularly manufacturers and industrial facilities.
