AI Summary

This bill would make the Palisades Interstate Park Commission eligible to receive certain funding from the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (I-Bank), a state entity that provides financing for infrastructure projects. Specifically, the bill amends existing laws to classify the Palisades Interstate Park Commission as a "local government unit" for the purposes of applying for funding from the I-Bank. This eligibility would allow the commission to seek financial assistance for projects related to hazard mitigation and resilience (protecting against natural disasters), transportation, wastewater treatment systems, and water supply. Applications submitted by the commission would be reviewed in the same way as those from other local government entities.
