Prohibits DEP from requiring person under 16 years of age to obtain horseback riding permit to ride in State wildlife management areas.

This bill prohibits New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from requiring children under 16 to obtain a horseback riding permit or pay the $2.00 nonrefundable application fee when riding in state wildlife management areas. It directly affects minors under 16 who participate in horseback riding within these areas. The key provision is a clear statutory ban on both the permit requirement and fee for this age group, effective immediately. The bill does not alter requirements for riders aged 16 or older.
