Requires municipality to provide free beach access to certain veterans.
This bill requires New Jersey municipalities with ocean or tidal water shorelines to provide free beach access and recreational facility use to veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces and received an honorable discharge or a general discharge under honorable conditions. It amends existing law to make this free access mandatory (replacing the previous optional provision) for qualifying veterans, including those discharged due to medical reasons. Municipalities must accept federal discharge documents (like DD-214 forms) or state-issued veteran IDs as proof. The policy directly affects shore municipalities and veterans meeting the discharge criteria, eliminating fees they previously might have paid.
