Please contact your state representatives and urge them to support this legislation.
Pinelands Development Credits have been used in an ever expanding way to limit access to public lands. While this bill deals specifically with soccer tournaments it has implications for all recreation and reasonable application of the term "low-intensity recreation". This is important to everyone in the Pinelands Preserve, specifically with regard to Special Use permits.
S2125/A3257
Modifies the definition of low-impact recreation use in the Pinelands CMP
This bill sponsored by Senator Van Drew and Assemblyman Andrzejczak changes the Pinelands Comprehensive Management Plan (CMP) by expanding the definition of low-impact recreational use in the Pinelands agriculture production areas.
A3257 is scheduled for a vote Monday, September 29th by the full Assembly. S2125 still needs to be voted on by the Senate Economic Growth Committee and the full Senate.
