Allows commercial farmer to be awarded reasonable costs and attorney fees for defending against bad faith complaints under "Right to Farm Act".

This bill (S 3662) allows commercial farmers in New Jersey to recover reasonable legal costs and attorney fees when defending against complaints deemed filed in "bad faith" under the state's Right to Farm Act. It directly affects farmers who successfully prove their agricultural operations comply with state regulations and SADC guidelines (the "irrebuttable presumption"), and a county board or the State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) determines the complaint was filed without valid grounds. The key mechanism requires farmers to submit cost details to a county board or SADC; if they find the complaint was filed in bad faith (supported by a preponderance of evidence) and the costs are reasonable, the complainant must pay them. The bill does not alter the Right to Farm Act’s core protections but adds a fee-recovery process for frivolous complaints. It takes effect immediately upon enactment.
