Beach/Public Access Mandate Bill in Committee on Thursday

This Thursday, the Assembly Environment and Solid Waste Committee is scheduled to review A-4221/S-1074, which seeks to provide protections for the public’s right under the public trust doctrine. While the League is supportive of public beach access we must oppose A-4221/S-1074 in its current form as it creates a mandate on municipal governments without providing for an offsetting appropriation. Further, we object to A-4221/S-1074 because it impedes on municipal land use and planning authority.

We urge you to contact members of the Assembly Environment and Solid Waste Committee to voice your concerns with A-4221/S-1074 and to also reach out to your Assembly representatives urging them to vote against the bill, should it get to a full Assembly vote without the clarifications sought by the League. Contact information for your State representatives can found broken down by your municipality on the State Legislature website.
