Authorizes certain types of permanent structures, newly constructed or erected on preserved farmland, to be used, in certain cases, for purposes of holding special occasion events thereon.

New Jersey Senate Bill S 3419 allows commercial farms on preserved farmland (producing $10,000+ annually in agricultural products) to host special occasion events on certain newly constructed permanent structures, retroactive to February 3, 2023. The bill permits structures built after that date (or planned for the same calendar year as event approval) to be used for events, provided they have a primary farm function (not solely for events), comply with farmland preservation rules, and cover no more than 10 acres or 10% of the farmland. It also limits events to 26 per year, with no more than six events exceeding 250 guests, and requires grantee approval for all events. The law aims to balance agricultural preservation with limited event hosting opportunities on protected farmland.
