A 1758 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates State Highway Route 72 as "Burlington-Ocean Purple Heart Memorial Highway."

This bill (A1758) designates New Jersey State Highway Route 72 (from milepost 0 to 28.74) as the "Burlington-Ocean Purple Heart Memorial Highway" to honor military service members who have received the Purple Heart medal for bravery or sacrifice. It requires the Commissioner of Transportation to erect signs bearing this designation but explicitly prohibits using state or public funds for the signs. Instead, the bill authorizes the Department of Transportation to accept private donations, grants, or gifts from non-profits or other entities to cover the costs of producing, installing, and maintaining the signs. The designation is purely commemorative and has no effect on transportation policies or funding.
