Overview
This bill removes the residency requirement for disabled veterans to receive free hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses, stamps, and permits in New Jersey. Currently, veterans must prove residency in the state to qualify for these free privileges. This change aims to provide greater access to recreational hunting and fishing opportunities for veterans who may have relocated but continue to serve.
