A 2731 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides free or reduced fee beach access to certain New Jersey National Guard members.

This bill expands eligibility for free or reduced-fee beach access in New Jersey shore municipalities to include any New Jersey National Guard member who was honorably discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable. Currently, only active Guard members who completed initial training qualify; this bill adds those who have served and been discharged honorably. Municipalities may choose to provide these benefits through existing ordinances, verifying eligibility via documents like DD-214 military discharge papers or veteran ID cards. It does not require municipalities to offer these benefits but gives them a new category to include. The change affects discharged National Guard members and their families, aligning with existing categories for active military and veterans.
