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 any camping facilities fees when using campsites, cabins, lean-tos, and shelters at State parks and forests. The bill defines a "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 from admission fees for events held by veterans' organizations and from facilities fees for such events, and also exempts Gold Star Families from certain fees.
