Prohibits requirement for beach tag for access to beach below mean high tide line for recreational purposes.
This bill prohibits New Jersey municipalities from requiring beach tags or admission passes for recreational access to the wet sandy beach area below the mean high tide line (the ocean's wet sand zone). It directly affects beachgoers who would previously need municipal tags to access this specific ocean area for activities like swimming or sunbathing. The key provision bans any such fee requirement for "exclusive purpose of using the ocean for recreational activity" in that zone. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, though it is currently pending in committee.
