Provides free admission to State parks and forests, and certain historic sites and historic properties for certain veterans on certain days.
This bill, S 798, provides free admission to New Jersey state parks, forests, and certain historic sites for veterans on five designated days each year: Memorial Day, Armed Forces Day, Independence Day, Patriot Day, and Veterans Day. It applies to veterans who were honorably discharged from U.S. military service (including WWII Merchant Marines eligible for federal benefits) and requires them to show proof of service. The bill covers state-owned parks/forests, historic properties preserved using state funds (like Green Acres bonds), and county/municipal historic sites. It does not apply year-round or to all historic sites, only the specified dates and locations.
