Requires DEP to conduct public awareness campaign about hunting, and requires posting of orange flag at entrances to State parks and forests when hunting is permitted.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection to launch a public awareness campaign about hunting, specifically targeting residents near hunting areas to inform them about hunting seasons, rules, and activities on state-owned land. The legislation also mandates that an orange flag be displayed at every entrance to state parks and forests on days when hunting is permitted to increase visibility and safety. The Department must include funding for these measures in its annual budget request, and the changes take effect immediately upon passage.
