New Jersey A5556 prohibits common interest communities from prohibiting or unreasonably restricting gardening on residential properties. The bill declares that gardening has positive effects on residents’ well-being and the environment.

The Commissioner of Community Affairs must adopt rules to implement the bill within four months of enactment.
