Modifies private landowner consent requirements for certain local deer management plans.
This bill modifies New Jersey's deer management law to clarify consent requirements for private land access. It requires community deer management plans to document written consent from landowners whose property hosts deer control equipment (e.g., for shooting or fertility control), but explicitly excludes landowners where deer might disperse after being shot or darted. The change defines "affected landowner" specifically to cover property used for equipment placement, not just areas where deer might roam. This directly affects private landowners in designated deer management areas when plans require access to their property for non-hunting control methods.
