New Jersey A3175 mandates the Department of Environmental Protection to ensure public boat access to state-owned lakes with motorboat access.

New Jersey A3175 requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to provide public boat access to any state-owned lake where boats with or without onboard motors are allowed. This can be achieved by constructing, causing to be constructed, or entering into long-term contracts with private marina owners through a public bidding process. The bill allocates $1 million from the General Fund to the DEP for this purpose.
