Revises agricultural trespass laws, expands activities constituting trespass, and updates definitions of affected lands.
New Jersey A3025 amends the offense of agricultural trespass by removing the requirement of knowledge or recklessness, expanding the types of activities that constitute trespass, and updating the definition of "lands" susceptible to agricultural trespass. The bill now includes appurtenant woodland and land used for agricultural equipment storage. Trespassers face a civil penalty of at least $100, and those who damage property face additional penalties of up to $1,000 and attorney fees. Owners must post notices prohibiting trespass on waters listed for fish stocking.
