Establishes bee-friendly habitat pilot program in Department of Agriculture; appropriates $1 million.

This bill establishes a one-year pilot program within New Jersey's Department of Agriculture to support bee populations by reimbursing homeowners up to $250 and businesses up to $500 for converting lawns into bee-friendly habitats using approved native plants, forbs, or legumes. Funded with $1 million from the General Fund, the program requires the Department to develop application guidelines, eligibility criteria, an online resource for habitat guidance, and a list of qualifying plants. After the pilot, the Department must report to the Governor and Legislature on participation, program effectiveness, and recommendations for future action. The initiative directly affects New Jersey residents and businesses seeking to create pollinator-friendly outdoor spaces.
