This bill mandates the State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) to create educational materials aimed at owners or operators of commercial farms, highlighting the benefits of participating in New Jersey's farmland preservation program. The SADC is required to distribute these materials to every municipality in the state.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that municipal tax collectors or assessors must provide a copy of the educational materials to commercial farm owners or operators when they submit an application for farmland assessment. It also requires municipalities to ensure that these materials are readily available at publicly accessible municipal buildings, thereby promoting awareness and participation in the farmland preservation program.
