Directs DEP to establish leasing program for State-owned land to be used and managed as pollinator habitat.

Summary

The bill requires the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to set up a leasing system that lets qualified individuals, local governments, nonprofits, or other entities lease state-owned land and manage it as habitat for pollinators like bees and butterflies. By doing so, the state aims to increase pollinator‑friendly areas without buying new property. The program would be guided by rules the DEP adopts in consultation with the Department of Agriculture.
