Prohibits sale of milkweed plants treated with certain pesticides.

This bill (A 1513) prohibits the sale, offer for sale, or transportation for sale of milkweed plants treated with pesticides identified as harmful to monarch butterflies by New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The DEP, working with the Department of Agriculture, will create a list of restricted pesticides under this law. Violations carry a civil penalty of up to $100 per day, with each day of continuing violation considered a separate offense. The law directly affects sellers of milkweed plants within New Jersey and aims to protect monarch butterfly habitats by preventing pesticide-treated plants from being sold.
