- In January 2014, Chris Christie signed legislation that allowed the state's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to postpone the enforcement of water-quality management planning rules for two years.[1]
- Christie conditionally vetoed the "New Jersey Healthy Forests Act," which would have allowed the state DEP to establish forestry stewardship programs throughout the state. Some environmentalist groups, such as the Sierra Club, were also against the bill. Christie was concerned that the bill would have delegated authority from the state to a third-party organization called the Forest Stewardship Council.[2]
