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 modify Article VIII, Section III, to state that while the government can take private property for public use, it cannot do so for land dedicated to farming or gardening unless that land is permanently restricted to agricultural use. This change aims to protect farmland from being taken by the government or private corporations against the will of the owners, ensuring that such land remains available for agricultural activities.

If the amendment is approved by the legislature, 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, allowing citizens to express their support or opposition. The intent of this constitutional change is to safeguard the interests of farmers and preserve agricultural land in New Jersey, reflecting a commitment to maintaining the state's agricultural heritage.
