Permits municipality to use proceeds of beach access fees for areas near beach facilities that are significantly affected by beach tourism; requires municipality to provide explanation of expenditures on website.

This bill allows New Jersey coastal municipalities that charge beach access fees to use those funds to improve, maintain, and police local areas near beaches that are significantly impacted by tourism (such as parking, sidewalks, or nearby parks). It requires municipalities to publicly explain in their annual financial reports and on their budget websites how these expenditures connect to tourism impacts. The bill directly affects municipalities bordering the Atlantic Ocean or tidal waters that collect beach fees, ensuring transparency in how tourism-related revenue is spent. It does not create new fees but expands permitted uses of existing fee revenue while adding accountability measures.
