The proposed resolution seeks to amend the New Jersey Constitution to prohibit the use of eminent domain for the acquisition of land that is actively used for agricultural or horticultural purposes, with specific exceptions. The amendment would ensure that such land cannot be taken by the government—whether at the state, county, municipal, or local public entity level—unless the property is permanently restricted to agricultural or horticultural use. This change aims to protect farmland from being repurposed for other developments against the will of the landowners.

If the amendment is approved by the General Assembly and the Senate, it will be presented to the voters in the next general election. The resolution outlines the process for publicizing the amendment and how it will be presented on the ballot, ensuring that voters are informed about the implications of the proposed change. The intent is to safeguard agricultural land while still allowing for limited government acquisition under specific conditions.
