Bill Summary

This bill would permit shore municipalities, by ordinance, to provide free or reduced fee beach access to the spouse and dependent children, over the age of 12 years, of 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 municipalities, by ordinance, to provide free or reduced fee beach access to the spouse or dependent children, over the age of 12 years, of persons who are in active military service in any of the Armed Forces of the United States or who are active members of the New Jersey National Guard and who have completed Initial Active Duty Training. This bill would authorize municipalities to provide the same benefit to the spouse and dependent children of qualifying veterans.

AI Summary

This bill would permit shore municipalities in New Jersey to provide free or reduced-cost beach access to the spouse and dependent children (over the age of 12) of veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces and were discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable, and who either served at least 90 days in active duty or were discharged due to a service-related injury or disability. This expands on existing law that allows municipalities to provide free or reduced-cost beach access to the spouse or dependent children of active military personnel and members of the New Jersey National Guard.
