Bill > A4288

Introduced Session

This bill provides that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) would not charge any municipality a fee for any permit, approval, or other authorization necessary to construct or repair flood control facilities, or repair any damage to roads, buildings, or other structures sustained in the municipality due to a natural disaster involving flooding. To be eligible for the fee exemption, the municipality would be required to demonstrate to DEP, in a form and manner as determined by the department, that the permit, approval, or other authorization is necessary to repair damage sustained due to a natural disaster. The DEP would also circulate the necessary information by: 1) publishing a notice in the New Jersey Register; 2) posting application information in a prominent location on DEP's Internet website; 3) providing the information to the Department of Community Affairs; and 4) compiling the information for distribution to municipalities following a natural disaster.
