Provides that farm, farmstand, or other agricultural operation selling firewood obtained from property other than seller's shall not be considered lumber yard; prohibits sale of untreated firewood from outside of State.*

This bill clarifies that farms selling firewood from sources other than their own property (e.g., farmstands or agricultural operations) are not classified as "lumber yards" under local regulations. It prohibits selling untreated firewood obtained from outside New Jersey at these farm locations unless the wood is heat-treated and certified pest-free by its state of origin. The law directly affects farmers, farmstands, and agricultural businesses that sell firewood, as well as consumers purchasing such wood. Key provisions require certification for out-of-state firewood to prevent the spread of pests, while exempting wood sourced from the seller’s own land. The bill took effect immediately upon approval.
