Bill > S818

This bill amends existing laws to provide reduced golf fees for certain veterans and active service members at county and municipal golf courses across New Jersey. Specifically, it ensures that any New Jersey resident who is a veteran or an active member of the U.S. Armed Forces, including Reserve components, will not have to pay a registration fee and will be allowed to play at county or municipal golf courses at the same rate as a local resident, regardless of where they live within the state. To qualify, they will need to present appropriate identification, with the specific types to be determined by the county or municipality. The Adjutant General of the Department of Military and Veterans' Affairs will be responsible for determining veteran status for these purposes and will have the final say on any appeals regarding this determination, with their decision being binding on both the individual and the public entity operating the golf course.
