A 335 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Eliminates shellfish license fee for veterans and active duty service members.

This bill (A335) eliminates the $10 recreational shellfish license fee for New Jersey resident veterans (including honorably discharged service members) and active duty military personnel. It directly affects eligible veterans and active duty service members who are New Jersey residents and wish to harvest shellfish recreationally. The exemption applies to all shellfish covered under the license, including clams, oysters, and mussels, without changing other existing fee structures or exemptions (such as for seniors or children under 14). The policy change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
