Bill Summary
This bill authorizes a recurring annual tax credit of $250 against the State income tax to owners of properties situated within 1,000 feet of Barnegat Bay and its tributaries who replace grass lawns with stone, crushed shells, or other similar materials. Property owners with existing stone or crushed shell lawns would also be eligible for this benefit. The bill's objective is to provide an incentive to property owners to reduce the amount of lawn fertilizers and other chemical agents used in landscaping that flow into Barnegat Bay. These substances are believed to be one of the major causes of the degradation of the bay's waters and ecosystems.
