Bill > A1085

This bill requires the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, the South Jersey Transportation Authority, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Delaware River Port Authority, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission, and the Delaware River and Bay Authority to install a cabinet on every bridge that has a total length of 100 feet or more and crosses over a waterway. The cabinet is required to include a rescue tube and life jacket that a first responder may use to rescue a person from drowning. The effective dates of the various sections of the bill are contingent on the enactment of identical legislation by the neighboring states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.
