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 all Purple Heart recipients for their military service and sacrifice. It requires that signs bearing this designation be funded solely through private donations or grants, not public funds, and prohibits the use of state money for producing, purchasing, or installing the signs. The bill has no policy impact beyond this symbolic recognition and memorialization.
