TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senator Nicholas J. Sacco that would allow residential and commercial development – including hotels, motels, and mixed use properties – on existing piers over large rivers located in urban municipalities was approved today by the full Senate.
“Coastal communities in New Jersey, including those along the Jersey shore and the Hudson River, have been hit with devastating economic losses following Hurricane Sandy,” said Senator Sacco, D-Hudson and Bergen. “Blocking the development of new residential and commercial property in these areas would cause great harm to local businesses, and hinder the vast recovery efforts that we have seen so far. By allowing new developments to proceed on existing piers, this measure will bring a significant boost to coastal areas and help spur the creation of new jobs and businesses.”
TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senators Fred Madden (D-Gloucester, Camden) and Jim Beach (D-Camden) that will help extend unemployment benefits for jobless residents was signed into law today.
“While we continue to strive to improve our economy and create jobs in New Jersey, the stubborn fact remains that far too many people are currently unemployed and coming very close to having their final lifeline cut,” said Madden. “By changing the trigger for unemployment benefits, we are helping people pay their mortgage and keep putting food on the table while they look for a job.”

“During these difficult economic times, we must take action to ensure that those hardest hit will still be able to provide a home, food and other essentials for their families. Changing the unemployment benefits trigger will help do that. We will certainly look towards other measures to create jobs and economic growth, but this is a good step towards helping those who need it,” said Madden.

TRENTON – Legislation sponsored by Senator John A. Girgenti to upgrade the penalties for misusing public utility employee identification badges and to establish penalties for making, selling and possessing fake public utility IDs received final approval in the Senate today.
“I am concerned about the number of instances in which New Jersey residents have been victimized by people posing as utility employees,” said Senator Girgenti, D-Bergen and Passaic. “There are steps consumers can take to protect themselves against home invaders posing as utility workers. It’s important that New Jerseyans be cautious about giving anyone access to their homes. Residents should not hesitate to call the utility to confirm if they have dispatched workers to their houses or neighborhoods.”
