ACTION ALERT!
Please share…
The New Jersey Invasive Species Management Act (A4137/S1029) passed the Assembly and Senate with no opposition and is now again sitting on Governor Murphy’s desk. Thank you to everyone who called in, wrote, or texted. A previous version of this bill passed both houses of the legislature unanimously in 2023, only to be vetoed by Governor Murphy. He signed a bunch of bills the other day, but is sitting on this one with no explanation.
Make no mistake, invasive species are a top environmental issue, rivalling climate change and pollution. Unlike most states, New Jersey does not have a law regulating invasive plants.
Please help by calling, texting, or writing. Calling is best, but be prepared; you may be put on hold. We hear the music is tolerable.
