S 4755 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides that lease renewal for farming of farmland is exempt from public bidding requirements if tenant under prior lease has farmed land for at least 10 years.

This bill exempts from public bidding requirements the renewal of farmland leases to tenant farmers who have farmed that specific land for at least 10 consecutive years prior to the land being taken by a local government through condemnation. It applies to leases for active agricultural or horticultural production on land previously condemned by municipalities or counties. The exemption ensures existing tenant farmers can continue operations without competitive bidding when renewing leases on land they've farmed for a decade.
