Exempts certain veterans from field or live-fire range portion of hunter gun safety course.

This New Jersey bill exempts honorably discharged veterans from completing the field or live-fire range portion of the state's required hunter gun safety course. To qualify for this exemption, veterans must provide proof of their service and honorable discharge to the Division of Fish and Wildlife. The law defines a veteran as any state resident who was honorably discharged from active military service or reserves, or a World War II Merchant Marine member eligible for federal veterans' benefits. This change applies to all veterans seeking a hunting license, regardless of their age or prior hunting experience.
