Provides free or reduced fee beach access to certain New Jersey National Guard members.
This bill adds two categories of New Jersey National Guard members to existing fee exemptions for beach access: (1) current members who completed Initial Active Duty Training, and (2) veterans who were honorably discharged. Municipalities bordering the Atlantic Ocean or tidal waters can now offer free or reduced beach access fees to these individuals under existing local ordinances. The law specifies that veterans must have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, and documentation like military discharge papers (DD-214) can verify eligibility. This update expands current provisions that already cover active military personnel and some veterans to include all New Jersey National Guard service members.
