The Legislature has revived a bill vetoed by former Gov. Jon Corzine to delay an anti-sprawl, water quality management rule that gives state environmental officials more control over extending sewer and septic service. The controversial legislation was reintroduced in the Senate today, after the Assembly’s Housing and Local Government Committee approved its version.
