New Jersey Green Industry Council meet with legislators

The New Jersey Green Industry Council (NJGIC) hosted a meet and greet for its members and allied associations at the New Jersey State House in Trenton, NJ. The goal was to create an engaging experience with legislative members and staff to share NJGICs mission and focus on top legislative priorities for 2023. Issues involving the neonicotinoid ban, vegetation management, registration of professional landscaping businesses, blower ban pre-emption, endangered species, licensure and PFAS regulation and more were discussed.

Over 20 legislators and staff visited during the meet and greet, including Assemblyman Roy Freiman, Chair of the Agriculture Committee, and Assemblyman James Kennedy, Chair of the Environment Committee. NJGIC and its Allied Associations recognize that the tone of legislation in New Jersey is changing, and they are increasingly facing the impacts of bills that aim to restrict their ability to do business in the state.
