Prohibits DEP from charging fee for resident mobile sportfishing vehicle permit to veterans, active military members, former or current members of the NJ National Guard or Reserve, or volunteer emergency workers.
This bill prohibits New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from charging fees for mobile sportfishing vehicle permits to eligible residents, including veterans, active military members, current/former NJ National Guard/Reserve members, and volunteer emergency workers. It allows these individuals to obtain one free permit per vehicle for operating motor vehicles on designated fishing beaches at state parks, while still requiring compliance with all other permit rules and safety regulations. The DEP must establish verification processes to confirm eligibility, such as proof of military service or volunteer status. The fee exemption applies only to resident permits and does not alter existing fishing regulations or safety requirements.
