Permits municipalities to charge reduced or no beach fee for children ages 12 to 17; revises law concerning beach fees for veterans.

This bill allows New Jersey local governments to offer reduced or no beach access fees to children aged 12-17, expanding current exemptions that already cover children under 12. It also revises veteran fee policies by removing the requirement that veterans must have served at least 90 days in active duty or have a service-connected disability to qualify for fee exemptions - now all honorably discharged veterans are eligible regardless of service length or disability status. The bill affects municipalities managing public beaches and bathing facilities, which would need to update local ordinances to implement these changes. It does not alter existing exemptions for seniors, disabled residents, active military personnel, National Guard members, or Gold Star Families.
