New Jersey A2858 mandates DEP to offer a 14-day period for mobile sport fishing permits exclusively to NJ residents.

New Jersey A2858 requires the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to establish a 14-day period during which only New Jersey residents can purchase mobile sport fishing permits. The bill defines "mobile sport fishing permit" as any permit allowing the operation of a motor vehicle on a beach for fishing purposes. DEP is authorized to adopt rules and regulations to implement the provisions, including determining acceptable evidence of residency. The act will take effect six months after enactment, with DEP allowed to take necessary anticipatory administrative actions beforehand.
