A 6215 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs Dept. of Agriculture to consult with US Dept. of Agriculture to determine methods and implementation of geese control.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Agriculture to consult with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to identify nonlethal geese control methods and, when lethal methods are needed, prioritize humane options excluding gassing. It mandates state agencies to create public fact sheets detailing these methods and establish agreements with federal partners for implementation. The bill also directs the Division of Fish and Wildlife to develop, within 180 days, best management practices for land management that discourages geese habitats by minimizing natural turf and promoting native plants. These provisions directly affect state agencies managing wildlife and public lands, focusing on coordinated, science-based geese population control.
