The suit accused Mahwah council members of using the law to keep Orthodox Jews in neighboring New York State towns from crossing into Mahwah.
The lone dissenting vote on the parks ban ordinance Thursday was cast by Councilman Steve Sbarra, who did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
The state is seeking more than $3.4 million it claims Mahwah received and used in state Department of Environmental Protection Green Acres grants to purchase and maintain its parks.
The ban on out-of-state residents using parks, which council members have said was passed to address overcrowding, was never enforced while it was on the books, officials said.
