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 walk-in and bicycle entrance fees at all state parks and forests on Memorial Day weekend, the week of the Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekend.
