a. As used in this section:

“military and defense economic ombudsman” means the military and defense economic ombudsman in the Department of State established pursuant to section 2 of P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as Assembly Bill No. of 2015). 1

“military facility” means any facility located within the State which is owned or operated by the federal government, and which is used for the purposes of providing logistical, technical, material, training, and any other support to any branch of the United States military; and

“military facility commander” means the chief official, base commander or person in charge at a military facility.

b. (1) Whenever any State department, office, agency, authority, or commission proposes a plan that would impact the use of land within 3,000 feet in all directions of any military facility, it shall notify the Director of the Office of Planning Advocacy prior to finalizing its plan. The director shall contact the Military and Defense Economic Ombudsman and the appropriate military facility commander in order to solicit comments addressing any land use compatibility issues which may be of concern to the military and shall forward those comments to the appropriate State department, office, agency, authority, or commission. The State department, office, agency, authority, or commission shall not finalize its plan until it has reviewed any comments submitted by the military facility commander on its proposed plan.

(2) Whenever the Office of Planning Advocacy receives a notice under the “Municipal Land Use Law,” P.L.1975, c. 291 (C.40:55D-1 et seq.) that would impact the use of land within 3,000 feet of any military facility, the director shall notify the Military and Defense Economic Ombudsman.

c. The Adjutant General of the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs shall, within 30 days of the effective date of P.L.2005, c. 41 (C.40:55D-12.4 et al.), forward a list of military facilities to the Director of the Office of State Planning. The director shall circulate the list to each State department, office, agency, authority or commission.

d. The Director of the Office of State Planning, upon receiving the list of military facilities from the Adjutant General, shall forthwith notify those municipalities and State departments, offices, agencies, authorities and commissions of the requirements of this section.
