Authorizes certain energy projects involving installation of transmission and distribution wires that cross preserved farmland.*

This bill allows energy companies to build transmission and distribution infrastructure (like power lines) on farmland protected by conservation easements, but only under strict conditions. It requires projects to stay within a 50-foot right-of-way near the preserved farmland's edge, prohibits on-site energy generation, and mandates landowner approval. Projects meeting these rules automatically clear without committee review, while others require a 90-day application process where easement holders get 30 days to comment. The State Agriculture Development Committee must balance agricultural use against New Jersey’s energy needs when reviewing non-compliant requests.
