Excludes farmland from definitions of "redevelopment area" and "rehabilitation area" in "Local Redevelopment and Housing Law."

S 1857 amends New Jersey's Local Redevelopment and Housing Law to explicitly exclude farmland actively devoted to agricultural use (and taxed under the Farmland Assessment Act of 1964) from being classified as a "redevelopment area" or "rehabilitation area." This directly affects farmers who maintain agricultural operations and qualify for the farmland tax assessment program, preventing their land from being included in redevelopment projects. The key mechanism is a technical amendment to the legal definition of "redevelopment area" within the law. This change ensures farmland under the Farmland Assessment Act cannot be subject to redevelopment processes governed by the current law.
