Requires certain warehouse operators to implement air pollution reduction and mitigation plans.
New Jersey's S 2285 requires large warehouse operators (those with over 50,000 sq. ft. of operations in facilities exceeding 100,000 sq. ft.) to reduce air pollution from their truck traffic and operations. Starting 36 months after the law takes effect, these operators must implement a department-approved plan earning "air pollution reduction points" through specific actions like purchasing zero-emission trucks, installing solar power, or funding air filtration systems near schools. Points are calculated based on previous truck traffic, with a phased approach where the required points decrease in the first four years. Operators can use a standard plan template or create a custom plan, with an option to pay $1,000 annually into an electric vehicle fund instead of meeting points. The Department of Environmental Protection must develop the program rules within 24 months.
