Provides free or reduced fee beach access to certain New Jersey National Guard members.
This bill (S 2300) expands eligibility for free or reduced-fee beach access in New Jersey shore municipalities to include **discharged New Jersey National Guard members who were honorably released** (not just active members who completed training). It amends existing law (P.L.1955, c.49) to add this group as a qualifying category, alongside active military members, veterans, and others. Municipalities may now offer these benefits to National Guard veterans (and their spouses/children over 12) without requiring additional fees. The change applies to all ocean, bay, and river beaches governed by shore municipalities that already provide similar discounts. This policy does not create new fees but modifies existing municipal discretion to extend access to a broader group of service members.
