Establishes "pollinator-friendly" label for plants.
This bill would create a standardized "pollinator-friendly" label for plants sold in New Jersey, requiring the Environmental Protection Commissioner (with Agriculture Secretary) to establish specific standards. These standards must prohibit or limit pesticides harmful to pollinators and define "pollinator-friendly" plants as native, non-invasive species. Retailers and distributors could only use the label on plants meeting these standards, which cover bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. The bill does not ban pesticides but sets requirements for labeling to help consumers identify pollinator-safe plants. (Note: The bill is currently pending in committee and has not yet been enacted.)

MINOR
This is a procedural transition from a committee-reported version back to an introduced version pending technical review. The substantive policy text of the bill is unchanged. The main differences are the reduction in co-sponsors (from eight to two), a status line change, and the addition of a standard STATEMENT section summarizing the bill's purpose.
SCOPE
Co-sponsors were reduced from eight members (Lopez, Freiman, Fantasia, Karabinchak, Quijano, Bagolie, Drulis, Donlon) to just two (Lopez and Freiman), indicating the bill was reintroduced with a smaller group of supporters.
TECHNICAL
The status line changed from 'As reported by the Assembly Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee with technical review' to 'Introduced Pending Technical Review by Legislative Counsel,' reflecting a procedural reset back to introduced status.
A standard STATEMENT section was appended at the end of the bill summarizing its provisions, which is a routine addition when a bill is formally introduced in the New Jersey Legislature.
