Extension of Permits
New Jersey has passed legislation that automatically suspends the running of the period of eligible permits and approvals from March 9, 2020 until the end of the health emergency declared by the Governor in response to COVID-19. The act also extends any permit or approval for at least six months beyond the end of the health emergency declared by the Governor in response to COVID-19.
Impacted permits and approvals include, but are not limited to: “any municipal, county, regional, or State approval or permit granted under the general authority conferred by State law or rule or regulation, or any other government authorization of any development application or any permit related thereto whether that authorization is in the form of a permit, approval, license, certification, permission, determination, interpretation, exemption, variance, exception, waiver, letter of interpretation, no further action letter, agreement or any other executive or administrative decision which allows a development or governmental project to proceed; provided that, for all of the foregoing, the approval was validly issued, and the term of such approval was unexpired as of March 9, 2020.”
