A 2305 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "pollinator-friendly" label for plants.

This bill requires New Jersey's Environmental Protection Commissioner (with the Agriculture Secretary) to create standards and a "pollinator-friendly" label for plants. It mandates that plants sold with this label must be native, non-invasive, and not treated with pesticides or chemicals harmful to pollinators like bees, butterflies, or hummingbirds. Retailers and distributors may only use the label if plants meet these standards, which prohibit harmful chemical treatments. The label applies specifically to plants marketed as safe for pollinators, defining "pollinator-friendly" based on these requirements.
