Bans foreign ownership of agricultural or horticultural land and agricultural woodlands in State.

New Jersey's Bill A-169 bans foreign governments and foreign persons (including non-citizens, foreign-owned businesses, and entities controlled by foreign interests) from acquiring or owning agricultural/horticultural land or agricultural woodlands in the state. Existing foreign owners must sell or transfer their land within five years, with a deed attached requiring the land to remain in agricultural use. Exceptions allow limited transfers for debt collection or inheritance, but new foreign ownership is prohibited after the bill's effective date. This directly affects foreign entities seeking to purchase or control New Jersey farmland or forested agricultural areas.
