Bill Summary

This bill allows a municipality, by ordinance, to charge no fee or a reduced beach fee to children between the ages of 12 and 17. This bill also provides that a municipality, by ordinance, may charge no fee or a reduced beach fee to honorably discharged veterans, regardless of length of active duty or disability. In addition, the bill deletes language in current law limiting the exemption and reduced fee to veterans who have either served at least 90 days in active duty or have been discharged or released from active duty by reason of a service-incurred injury or disability.

AI Summary

This bill allows municipalities to offer reduced or no beach fees for children between the ages of 12 and 17, and also expands the ability for municipalities to offer reduced or no beach fees to honorably discharged veterans, removing previous restrictions that required veterans to have served at least 90 days on active duty or have a service-connected disability.
