Establishes bee-friendly habitat pilot program in Department of Agriculture; appropriates $1 million.

This bill establishes a one-year pilot program within the New Jersey Department of Agriculture to encourage homeowners and businesses to convert their lawns into bee-friendly habitats. The program provides financial reimbursement of up to $250 for homeowners and up to $500 for businesses, with a total funding cap of $1 million appropriated from the General Fund. The Department of Agriculture is responsible for developing application guidelines, establishing qualification criteria, creating an informational website, and maintaining a list of approved plants that qualify for reimbursement. Upon completion, the department must submit a report to the Governor and Legislature detailing participation numbers, funds distributed, and recommendations for future programs.
