Bill > A608

This bill mandates that several transportation authorities, including 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, must install a cabinet on every bridge they oversee that is at least 100 feet long and crosses over a body of water. These cabinets are required to contain a rescue tube and a life jacket, which are essential tools for first responders to use in saving someone from drowning, and the installation must be completed within six months of the bill's effective date, with some sections requiring reciprocal legislation from neighboring states like New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware before they take effect.
