Establishes "New Jersey Invasive Species Task Force."
This bill establishes the New Jersey Invasive Species Task Force within the Department of Agriculture. The task force, composed of nine members including department heads (Agriculture, Environmental Protection, Health, Forestry, and Rutgers Agricultural Experiment Station) and four public members with invasive species expertise, will study control methods and develop statewide plans. Key provisions require the task force to create an updated list of all invasive species every three years, identify regulatory barriers, and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature detailing species impacts, spread patterns, and recommendations for prevention and ecosystem restoration. The task force must hold quarterly public meetings across all regions of New Jersey and post its work online.
