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 have the opportunity to express their support or opposition to the proposed changes. The intent of the amendment is to safeguard agricultural land from government acquisition while allowing for limited exceptions that maintain its agricultural use.
