A 3029 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs DEP to establish leasing program for State-owned land to be used and managed as pollinator habitat.

This bill (A3029) directs New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to create a leasing program for state-owned land to be used as pollinator habitat. It affects the DEP, local governments, nonprofits, and other qualified groups that can lease land to manage areas supporting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Key provisions require the DEP, with input from the Department of Agriculture, to develop rules identifying suitable land and selecting qualified lessees. The program would formalize how state land can be leased for habitat management, with rules adopted via standard administrative procedures.
