Authorizes EDA to provide grants from "Global Warming Solutions Fund" to finance replacement of certain agricultural equipment.
This bill, S 320, authorizes New Jersey's Economic Development Authority (EDA) to use funds from the "Global Warming Solutions Fund" to provide grants to **farmers** for replacing inefficient or polluting agricultural equipment with more efficient, less polluting alternatives. The key provision requires applicants to prove the old equipment has been permanently dismantled or decommissioned before receiving a grant. Funds for this program are allocated from the 60% of the "Global Warming Solutions Fund" designated for agricultural, commercial, and industrial energy efficiency projects under existing law. The bill does not change the fund's overall structure but specifically expands EDA's grant authority for agricultural equipment upgrades.
