Hi Everyone,
Great news !!!! The New Jersey State Assembly's Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee voted in favor of bill (A1923) on May 17, 2018 !!! It is now scheduled to be up for a vote in the Senate on May 31, 2018. If it passes the Senate, it will then be sent to Governor Murphy's desk for his signature to become law. I will keep you updated.

As expected, outgoing Governor Christie vetoed the Bill. The Bill is being reintroduced as A1923. Once again, please call your Legislator and ask him/her to please support this Bill. The new Governor, Phil Murphy, looks like he will sign this bill once it get to his desk.
