A 4847 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires establishment and implementation, in certain circumstances, of wildlife management plans for open space and farmland, and authorizes use of constitutionally dedicated CBT revenues to finance activities undertaken pursuant to such plans.

This New Jersey bill requires the Department of Environmental Protection and State Agriculture Development Committee to create model wildlife management plans for open space and farmland. It mandates that state and local governments using constitutionally dedicated funds or Green Acres bond act moneys for land acquisition must adopt one of these model plans for the specific property and any other lands they've acquired with such funds. Local governments may alternatively submit a pre-existing wildlife management plan for approval instead of using the new models. The bill also clarifies that wildlife management activities under these plans qualify as "stewardship activities" for which constitutionally dedicated Corporation Business Tax (CBT) revenues can be used.
