Bill Summary

This bill prohibits a shore municipality from charging and collecting any fees for access to beaches and bathing and recreational grounds, and for use of bathing and recreational facilities, by veterans who have served in any of the Armed Forces of the United States and who were discharged or released therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable, and who either served at least 90 days in active duty or were discharged or released from active duty by reason of a service-incurred injury or disability. Current law permits shore municipalities, by ordinance, to provide free or reduced fee beach access to qualifying veterans. This bill would require shore municipalities to provide free beach access to these qualifying veterans.

AI Summary

This bill requires municipalities in New Jersey to provide free beach access to certain veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces for at least 90 days or were discharged due to a service-related injury or disability. The current law allows municipalities to provide free or reduced-fee beach access to qualifying veterans, but this bill would make such free access mandatory for these veterans.
