The resolution asserts that the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) proposed rules and regulations, titled "New Jersey Protecting Against Climate Change Resilient Environment and Landscapes" (NJPACT REAL), are inconsistent with the legislative intent of New Jersey. The Legislature argues that the DEP has overstepped its constitutional authority by unilaterally proposing significant changes to existing laws without explicit legislative authorization. The resolution highlights concerns that the proposed regulations would impose substantial financial burdens on New Jersey residents, particularly in coastal areas, by increasing property taxes and the costs associated with building and renovations.

As a result, the resolution formally declares the DEP's proposed rules inconsistent with legislative intent and requires the DEP to amend or withdraw these regulations within 30 days of the resolution's transmittal. If the DEP fails to comply, the Legislature retains the authority to invalidate the proposed rules through another concurrent resolution. The resolution emphasizes the importance of legislative oversight in environmental policy and the need for the DEP to adhere to the principles of the New Jersey Constitution.
