Authorizes free hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses and free admission to State parks and forests for individuals with certain types of military service.
This bill authorizes free hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses, as well as free admission to New Jersey State parks and forests, for specific military-affiliated individuals. It directly affects active-duty service members (regardless of residency if stationed in NJ), members of NJ National Guard units, organized reserve members stationed in NJ, disabled veterans, and retired NJ National Guard members. The bill expands current law by adding free park access for disabled veterans (previously only covered for licenses) and removes residency requirements for active-duty personnel. It amends existing statutes to implement these benefits through statutory updates to license fees and park admission rules.
