Urges Governor and Legislature to establish programs to help eliminate food deserts.

SR 64 is a non-binding Senate Resolution (introduced January 2024 by Senators Beach and McKnight) that urges New Jersey's Governor and Legislature to create incentive programs for grocery stores and supermarkets to open in food deserts. It describes food deserts as areas - often low-income, rural, or urban - lacking access to fresh, affordable food and instead relying on processed options linked to health issues. The resolution recommends establishing these programs to improve food access and create local jobs but does not create new laws, funding, or enforceable requirements. As a resolution, it has no legal effect and serves only as a formal recommendation to state leaders.
