Directs DEP to waive walk-in and bicycle entrance fees to State parks and forests during certain holidays.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to waive all walk-in and bicycle entrance fees at state parks and forests during three specific holiday periods: Memorial Day weekend, the week of the Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekend. It directly affects visitors who enter these parks on foot, by bicycle, or on foot during those designated times. The key provision mandates the DEP to remove these fees for the specified holidays, making park access free for those entry methods. The policy change would take effect one year after the bill is enacted.
