Eliminates shellfish license fee for veterans and active duty service members.
This bill eliminates a $10 annual fee for New Jersey residents who are honorably discharged veterans or active duty members of the U.S. military to obtain a recreational shellfish license. It directly affects eligible veterans and service members by removing a cost for harvesting shellfish like clams, oysters, and mussels for personal use. The law amends existing licensing rules to add this exemption, maintaining the current fee structure for all other residents under 62.
