A 4666 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits sale and use of certain gas-powered leaf blowers; provides CBT credit for purchase of electric leaf blower that replaces gas-powered leaf blower.

This bill bans the sale and use of gas-powered leaf blowers with two-stroke engines starting two years after enactment and restricts four-stroke models in residential areas starting four years after enactment. It limits four-stroke blower use in non-residential areas to specific seasons (March 15-May 15 and October 15-December 15). To encourage the switch, the bill offers a tax credit covering up to 50% of the cost for purchasing an electric leaf blower to replace a gas-powered model, requiring documentation of the replacement. The policy directly affects homeowners, landscapers, and businesses using leaf blowers, with exemptions for pest management equipment.
