Burzichelli Bill to Facilitate Farming Processes Now Law

Law Lifts Certain Permit and Transition Area Requirements

Legislation Assemblyman John J. Burzichelli sponsored to facilitate operations for the agriculture industry in New Jersey has been signed into law.

“Given the changes in agricultural processes over the last quarter-century, we must adapt accordingly,” said Burzichelli (D-Cumberland/Gloucester/Salem). “With nursery crops and products now accounting for nearly half of farm income in our state, the ability to extend the growing season with hoophouses and polyhouses is essential.”
