New Jersey SCR106 states that the Department of Environmental Protection's "Protecting Against Climate Threats" rules, adopted on January 20, 2026, are inconsistent with legislative intent. The resolution asserts that these rules, which include changes to stormwater management, wetlands conservation, and coastal area protection, have significant economic impacts, such as limiting development rights and increasing housing costs. The resolution gives the Department of Environmental Protection 30 days to amend or withdraw the rules, after which the Legislature may invalidate them.
