Overview: During the recent Merchantville Borough Council meeting, a proposed resolution supporting New Jersey’s Climate Superfund legislation was introduced for consideration. This legislation aims to require fossil fuel companies to contribute to a state fund for climate resiliency and cleanup programs. The Climate Superfund legislation, Senate Bill 3545 and Assembly Bill 4696, is sponsored by Senator Bob Smith and co-sponsored by State Senator Nilsa Cruz-Perez. The proposed law seeks to hold fossil fuel companies financially accountable for environmental damage rather than placing the burden on taxpayers. Several New Jersey towns, including Hoboken and Jersey City, have already passed similar resolutions endorsing the legislation. The council was urged to review the proposal and consider adopting a resolution in support of the bill.
