New Jersey § 32:17-6

§ 32:17-6.

ARTICLE IV 1. All legal and equitable title to or in any property, tangible or intangible and

whether real, personal or mixed, used or held as a part of, in connection with, or

for the purposes of the park or parks now under the jurisdiction, management or control

of the respective state boards, or connected with the maintenance or control thereof,

in so far as the same shall have heretofore been vested in either of such state boards,

is hereby transferred to and vested in the commission, subject to such liens, easements,

permits, life rights and other contracts relating thereto or in respect thereof as

may now lawfully exist. All such legal and equitable title shall, upon the taking effect of this compact,

forthwith and thereafter reside in the commission without further act or deed or transfer. 2. The commission shall succeed and shall be and hereby is substituted for each of

the state boards in so far as either of them has any obligation or liability to any

person, firm or corporation, has undertaken or commenced any proceeding or other business,

is a party to any action, suit or proceeding (the substitution of the commission for

either of the state boards in any action, suit or proceeding to be deemed to be by

operation hereof without motion or order) or has issued or promulgated any orders,

rules or regulations, and also in so far as, consistent with the other provisions

and the purposes of this compact, the commission should be regarded as succeeding

and as substituted for either of the state boards in any other respect in order that

the purposes of this compact may be accomplished. The balance of all appropriations heretofore made by either state and remaining

to the credit of either of the state boards, to which either state board is entitled,

or in the future would become entitled if its existence continued, shall be deemed

to be appropriations to the commission herein created, and the commission shall, upon

the taking effect of this compact, succeed to all the rights to any such appropriations

theretofore made with the same force and effect as if the commission had originally

been specifically named in the respective appropriation acts instead of the respective

state boards for which such appropriations were made. 3. All lands the title to which is hereby transferred to or shall hereafter be owned

by the commission shall be and continue under the jurisdiction of the commission and

shall be used only for public park purposes and none of said lands or any part thereof

shall be sold, exchanged or conveyed except with the consent of both states by specific

enactments; provided, however, that the commission shall have power to grant easements,

licenses, permits and other rights over any lands held by it in either state when

in the opinion of the commission the same will not interfere with the use and enjoyment

of the park by the public. 4. Each state may by legislation make rules and regulations for the use and government,

including regulation of traffic, of such portions of the park as lie within the boundaries

of the state, and such parts of any state, county or other public highways as lie

within the limits of such portions of the park, and all lands, parks and parkways

in the state under the jurisdiction of the commission, prescribe the penalty or penalties

for violation of any such rules or regulations, prescribe the procedure for enforcement

of any such penalty or penalties and provide the court or courts in which any such

enforcement is to be sought.
