Act 167, on 06/26/2026 (Gov. Msg. No. 1269).
Summary
The bill directs the Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity to convene a Bona Fide Farmer Working Group that will draft tiered, matrix‑based definitions for who qualifies as a genuine farmer and what counts as genuine agricultural activity. The group includes state officials and invited representatives from major farming organizations, serves without pay, and must submit its recommendations to the legislature by early 2028. The aim is to stop non‑farmers from exploiting agricultural zoning and tax designations.
