Bill Summary
Directs Department of Agriculture to advertise and promote State aquaculture products through Jersey Fresh Program; establishes annual $25,000 appropriation.
AI Summary
This bill directs the New Jersey Department of Agriculture to advertise and promote aquaculture products (fish or shellfish raised through farming in the state or state waters) as part of the Jersey Fresh Program, which is an existing agricultural marketing and quality grading initiative. The department will develop a specific quality grading system for aquaculture products that is similar to the grading system used for other agricultural commodities. The bill reduces the annual appropriation from $100,000 to $25,000, which will be allocated from the General Fund specifically for advertising and promoting aquaculture products. The legislation aims to support and raise awareness of locally produced aquaculture products by including them in the established Jersey Fresh Program, which helps market and verify the quality of New Jersey agricultural goods. The act will take effect immediately upon passage.
