BILL TO PROVIDE EASIER BEACH ACCESS TO VETERANS NOW LAW

Legislation sponsored by Senator Jeff Van Drew allowing veterans and other military personnel to present certain forms of identification in lieu of municipal beach tags to gain admission to certain beaches is now law. The new law, will allow a member of the US Armed Forces, their spouse and dependent child over the age of 12, access to a New Jersey beach, in a municipality which provides free beach access to veterans and service members, without having to get a beach tag.
