Creates alternate voting members on county agriculture development boards.
S 3619 (Sponsored by Sen. Anthony Bucco) adds two alternate voting members to New Jersey's county agriculture development boards. Currently, these boards have seven voting members (four farmers and three public representatives) plus three non-voting members. The bill specifies that one alternate must be actively engaged in farming (to replace a farming member) and one must represent the general public (to replace a public member), with alternates only voting when a regular member is absent or disqualified. This change ensures board continuity during meetings without delaying votes, directly affecting all 21 New Jersey counties operating such boards.
