Woolwich Committee urges state support for 'Climate Superfund Act' in 3–1 vote
Summary
The Township passed Resolution R-2025-104 urging New Jersey lawmakers to back S3545/A4696, the 'Climate Superfund Act.' Committeeman Frederick cast the lone 'no' vote, citing concerns with bill language.
The Woolwich Township Committee voted 3–1 on April 7 to adopt Resolution R-2025-104 urging the New Jersey Legislature to support S3545/A4696, known in the resolution as the 'Climate Superfund Act.' Mayor Matthias read the resolution by title and the Committee took comments before the roll-call vote.
Committeeman Frederick said the bill’s wording was concerning; he voted against the resolution. Committeeman McGovern, Deputy Mayor Nocentino and Mayor Matthias voted in favor. The resolution urges state-level action and does not impose new local regulations.
The resolution’s passage reflects the Committee’s formal position urging support for the named state bill; Committee members did not specify local implementation actions tied to the resolution at the meeting.
Next steps: the resolution will be filed with appropriate state legislative contacts as the Township’s formal expression of support.
