AI Summary
This bill requires the use of protective headgear when horseback riding on State-owned lands in New Jersey. Specifically, it mandates that riders wear ASTM-approved or comparable equestrian helmets with the attached harness properly secured. Violators face fines of up to $50 for the first offense and up to $200 for subsequent offenses, with the collected funds going to the "New Jersey Brain Injury Research Fund" to support brain injury research projects. The bill also requires the Department of Environmental Protection to post clear and visible signage at the entrances to State-owned lands where equestrian activities are permitted, informing the public of this new requirement. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
