"Flood-Battered N.J. Poised To Enact Model Disclosure Law"

"In early September, when New Jersey state Sen. Bob Smith introduced a bill to require that residents disclose the flood risk of real estate they’re selling, he was confident it would win approval.

But Smith didn’t expect the vote to be so lopsided.

The New Jersey Senate approved the bill in December by a vote of 37-0, and the state Assembly vote in February was 78-0."
