Provides that certain veterans are entitled to free admission to, and free parking at, State parks and forests.
This bill (A 3061) provides free admission to New Jersey State parks and forests, and free parking, for resident veterans. It expands existing exemptions (which currently cover seniors 62+, disabled residents, and National Guard members) to include all honorably discharged veterans. The law requires parks to reserve at least 2% of parking spaces (minimum three per park) exclusively for veterans, with no fee for these spaces. Veterans must provide proof of service as defined by current law, consistent with existing veteran eligibility standards.
