Reject Amendments to PREDFDA Law

New Jersey Lake Communities fight to be self- sustaining. All residents must pay a fair share of common maintenance. Veto A2480/S908

Why is this important?

Lake Associations throughout NJ have relied upon PREDFDA (Planned Real Estate Development Full Disclosure Act) to help meet the rising cost of maintenance issues for lakes and dams. Amendment A5043/S3661 will gut the law and make it impossible to maintain over 180 dams in more than 1000 lakes. Majority of these dams and lakes are maintained by private Lake Associations. Without all residents paying a fair share, these dams and lakes will fall into disrepair and eutrophication. Dam disrepair could put property and people's lives at risk , and the lakes could become an environmental nightmare. Eventually the taxpayers will be on the hook for the remediation. Governor Murphy Veto these amendments and set up a committee of experts to evaluate what neglect of these lakes will cause.
PS. Thanks to your efforts with emails and phone calls A5043 was conditionally vetoed and left to expire. We now have a new nemesis even more cruel to the lake environments. This bill is A2480/S908. We must start this fight all over again with letters and phone calls if we want to save our lakes! Call your Assembly and state Senators and of course Gov. Murphy 609-292-6000.

It's time to re-sign the Petition to Reject the Amendments to the PREDFDA LAW and Save Our NJ Lakes!

2020-03-09 01:46:52 -0400

Dear All loyal supporters of NJ Lakes, Your efforts have stalled the Bill A5043 which would have changed the PREDFDA LAW AND REDUCED LAKE ASSOCIATIONS' ability to charge homeowners their fair share of annual operating expenses. Now a new Bill has been introduced in the State senate and Assembly S908/A2480 with the same intent and even stronger language. We must raise our voices to save our lakes now and for future generations. We must continue to sign this petition to stop this new Bill.
