Establishes award of attorney's fees to prevailing party in municipal services dispute.

This bill (S 2732) allows courts to award attorney's fees to the winning party in legal disputes where a municipality fails to provide services or pay for services to "qualified private communities" (like planned residential developments under existing law). It also gives courts discretion to impose civil penalties of $2,500-$10,000 per violation against municipalities that breach these service requirements. The law applies specifically to cases under P.L.1989, c.299 (N.J. Stat. § 40:67-23.2 et seq.), and requires detailed fee applications from parties seeking reimbursement. The bill aims to encourage settlements and reduce costly litigation over municipal service obligations.
