S 1884 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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, S 1884, exempts specific military-affiliated individuals from paying fees for hunting, fishing, trapping licenses, and State park/forest admissions in New Jersey. It directly affects: active NJ National Guard members (after training), NJ reserve unit members, active-duty military stationed in NJ (regardless of residency), disabled veterans (with VA service-connected disability), and retired NJ National Guard members. The law amends existing statutes to remove fee requirements for these groups, requiring the Division of Fish and Wildlife to define acceptable verification documents. It also mandates annual budget adjustments to cover lost license revenue from these exemptions.
