"Penny's Law"; requires DEP to develop beach accessibility guidelines for persons with disabilities.

"Penny's Law" requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to develop accessibility guidelines for public beaches within one year, focusing on facilities like ramps, restrooms, surf chairs, parking, and boardwalks for people with disabilities. The DEP must consult with disability experts and organizations, consider federal accessibility standards, and work with the Department of Human Services to gather public input. Once finalized, the guidelines will be published online and distributed to all counties and municipalities with public beaches, and a uniform compliance label will be created for beaches meeting the standards. This bill directly affects all public beaches in New Jersey by mandating specific accessibility features and processes.
