MINOR
The bill was amended to add a second sponsor and update its legislative history to reflect that it has passed the Senate and moved to the Assembly. The primary substantive change is the removal of the requirement for the Commissioner of Transportation to oversee the dedication, shifting full responsibility to the Port Authority. Additionally, a new provision was added to ensure the Port Authority only acts once New Jersey passes identical legislation, preventing unilateral action across state lines.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by removing the Department of Transportation from the implementation process and adding a condition that the Port Authority cannot act until New Jersey enacts matching legislation.
ELIGIBILITY
Added a second sponsor (Sen. Rolison) and updated the legislative history to show the bill has passed the Senate and been delivered to the Assembly.
REQUIREMENT
Removed the requirement for the Commissioner of Transportation to consult with and oversee the dedication, transferring full responsibility to the Port Authority.
TIMELINE
Added a new condition stating the Port Authority is exempt from the act's provisions until New Jersey enacts identical legislation, ensuring coordinated action between the two states.
