Requires issuance of one free copy of birth certificate to military veteran.
This bill requires New Jersey to provide one free certified copy of a birth certificate to veterans born in the state. Eligible veterans include those discharged from military service (excluding dishonorable discharges) who meet federal veteran benefits criteria. The free copy is limited to one per veteran; additional copies require standard fees. This amendment adds veterans to existing exemptions for free birth certificates, which currently cover pension claims, military enlistment, and homelessness-related requests.
