"Processing Establishment Fast Track Act"; establishes expedited permitting review program in Department of Agriculture for certain meat and poultry processing establishments.

This bill creates a new "Fast Track" program within the New Jersey Department of Agriculture to speed up the permitting process for small meat and poultry processing facilities. The program requires state and local agencies to review permit applications together and mandates that applications be deemed complete if the department does not provide feedback within 15 days. Additionally, the law sets a strict 60-day deadline for agencies to make a final decision on permits and requires annual reporting on processing times and approval rates. These changes directly affect qualifying establishments, which are defined as licensed facilities under 50,000 square feet engaged in custom slaughter or limited meat processing.
