Overview
This bill proposes a state income tax credit for homeowners located within 1,000 feet of Barnegat Bay who replace their grass lawns with materials like stone or crushed shells. The credit of $250 per year is intended to encourage the use of low-maintenance landscaping that reduces the flow of chemicals into the bay. Existing homeowners with such lawns are also eligible for the credit. The goal is to improve the health of Barnegat Bay by minimizing pollution from lawn care products.
