A 160 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits Dept. of Agriculture from regulating minimum property size required per number of honeybee hives.

This bill (A160) prohibits New Jersey's Department of Agriculture from establishing or enforcing minimum property size requirements per honeybee hive for beekeeping operations. It directly affects beekeepers and apiary businesses by preventing the state from imposing such size regulations. The key provision explicitly states the Department "shall not regulate" these minimum property size requirements for keeping honeybees or related activities. The law takes effect immediately upon passage, removing the Department's authority to create such rules in the future.
