S 801 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides free admission to State parks, forests, and beaches for certain veterans and military personnel.

This bill (S 801) expands free admission to New Jersey state parks, forests, and beaches for veterans and active military personnel. It directly affects: (1) New Jersey-resident veterans (honorably discharged), (2) active-duty military members stationed in New Jersey (regardless of residency), and (3) National Guard members who completed initial training. Key provisions include removing admission fees for these groups and extending free access to disabled veterans for motor vehicle permits on park beaches. The bill updates existing exemptions to broaden eligibility while requiring verification of military/veteran status through acceptable documentation.
