Authorizes riding of steer and other pack animals designated by DEP in any State park where horseback riding is permitted.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to automatically allow steer and other designated pack animals in any state park where horseback riding is already permitted. It directly affects state park visitors who may use these animals for recreation and the DEP, which must implement this change whenever it authorizes horseback riding. The key provision mandates the DEP to add these activities to park regulations without additional approval, ensuring consistency with existing equestrian access.
