Bill Summary

This bill exempts veterans from being required to pay any camping facilities fee for the use of campsites, cabins, lean-tos, and shelters at State parks and forests.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to exempt veterans from paying camping facilities fees at State parks and forests, which includes charges for campsites, cabins, lean-tos, and shelters. The bill defines "veteran" as any resident honorably discharged from any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, including Reserve components or the National Guard, or honorably discharged members of the American Merchant Marine who served during World War II and are eligible for federal veterans' benefits. This provision builds upon existing law that already exempts veterans and Gold Star Families from admission and facilities fees for events held by veterans' organizations in State parks and forests.
