Establishes NJ Native Seed Commission to develop plan to increase production and use of native seeds in State.

Commission membership increased from 9 to 11 members. Two new public members with expertise in the horticulture industry were added: one appointed by the Senate President and one appointed by the Speaker of the General Assembly.

The commission's final report must now include six specific components: (1) an assessment of current and projected demand for native seeds by state agencies, local governments, nonprofits, and private entities; (2) an assessment of current capacity of NJ growers, nurseries, and seed suppliers; (3) a cost-benefit analysis covering installation, maintenance, lifecycle costs, environmental benefits, and long-term savings across land management, roadside rights-of-way, roadside landscaping, reforestation, habitat restoration, stormwater management, and other public projects; (4) an evaluation of regulatory, logistical, technical, and market barriers; (5) recommendations on funding mechanisms, procurement standards, market development strategies, seed sourcing, regional suitability, species diversity, contamination prevention, and substitute seed materials; and (6) identification of no fewer than three pilot project opportunities on DOT, DEP, or other public entity lands with operational, environmental, and maintenance considerations.

A new subsection f requires that if the commission's final report includes recommendations for regulatory or administrative action, the Department of Agriculture must, in consultation with DEP and DOT, submit a follow-up report to the Governor and Legislature within 180 days. That report must identify any regulatory or administrative action already taken, any rule or regulation proposed, and further actions the State may take.

Minor formatting and punctuation changes throughout, including spacing adjustments and renumbering of subsections to accommodate the new content.
