But, instead of protecting homeowners, Senator Sarlo again shills for the banks and builders.

He is sponsoring S3137 which would extend the expiration date of certain permits pursuant to "Permit Extension Act of 2008."

The lame duck bill is an attack on the environment and local land use planning. It is up today in the Senate Economic Growth Committee at 1 pm

STATEMENT

Under this bill, the "extension period," as defined
in the "Permit Extension Act of 2008," P.L.2008, c.78
(C.40:55D-136.1 et seq.), would be extended until December
31, 2012, rather than July 1, 2010 as provided in current
law.

Thus, under this bill, government approvals, as defined
and extended by the "Permit Extension Act of 2008,"
would continue to be valid until December 31, 2012.  In
accordance with the tolling provision provided in the
"Permit Extension Act of 2008," no approval would be
extended beyond six months after the conclusion of the
extension period, or until June 30, 2013 under this bill.
