S 1567 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes FY2023 supplemental appropriation of $1.5 million for matching grants for deer fencing program.

This bill adds $1.5 million in supplemental funding to New Jersey's FY2023 budget for the Department of Agriculture's existing deer fencing grant program. It directly affects farmers who own unpreserved farmland, farms with pinelands development credits, or farms in Highlands Water Protection zones, by providing matching grants to cover deer fencing costs. The program offers grants of up to $200 per acre (capped at $20,000 per applicant) for fencing purchases or maintenance, covering up to 50% of eligible project costs. This increases the total available funding for the program from $1 million to $1.5 million for FY2023.
