Appropriates $100,000 to Department of Agriculture to promote "Secretary Select" wines.
This bill appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund to New Jersey's Department of Agriculture for a "Secretary Select" wine promotion program. The funds will be used to highlight under-appreciated New Jersey wines selected by the Secretary of Agriculture, aiming to boost the state's wine industry. The program will regularly update featured wines to showcase New Jersey's diverse wine varieties, flavors, and styles. It directly affects the Department of Agriculture (through its Division of Marketing and Development) and New Jersey wine producers participating in the promoted selection. The funding is part of the 2025 fiscal year appropriations.
