Designates hazelnut as State nut of New Jersey.
S 4593 designates the hazelnut as New Jersey's official state nut, a ceremonial designation with no new policies or regulations. It recognizes Rutgers University's research in developing disease-resistant hazelnut varieties and the state's emerging local hazelnut farming industry. The bill has no direct impact on residents, businesses, or government operations - it solely establishes a symbolic state designation. This procedural bill was introduced by Senator Andrew Zwickler and requires no implementation.
