Bill Summary
This bill exempts honorably discharged veterans and active duty members of the U.S. military from the resident's recreational shellfish license fee. Currently, New Jersey residents under the age of 62 are required to pay a $10 license fee for the license, which allows them to harvest shellfish such as hard and soft clams, surf clams, oysters, bay scallops, and mussels during the summer months. Licensees may harvest up to 150 shellfish per day for non-commercial use.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law to eliminate the recreational shellfish license fee for honorably discharged veterans and active duty members of the U.S. military who are residents of the state, meaning they will no longer have to pay the current $10 fee to harvest shellfish like clams, oysters, and mussels for non-commercial use, up to a limit of 150 per day.
