Designates State Highway Route 72 as "Burlington-Ocean Purple Heart Memorial Highway."
This bill designates New Jersey's State Highway Route 72 (from milepost 0 to 28.74) as the "Burlington-Ocean Purple Heart Memorial Highway" to honor military personnel who have received the Purple Heart medal for bravery or sacrifice in service. It directly affects the highway corridor and commemorates Purple Heart recipients, past and present. The key provision prohibits using public funds for signs bearing this designation, requiring private donations or grants to cover all costs for producing, installing, and maintaining the memorial signs. The bill takes immediate effect upon enactment.
