Exempts individuals under 18 years of age from resident and nonresident fishing license fees in New Jersey.

This bill amends New Jersey law to exempt individuals under 18 years of age from the fees associated with obtaining either a resident or nonresident fishing license. The intent is to remove financial barriers that may prevent youth from participating in outdoor recreational activities. By waiving the fishing license fee for minors while maintaining the license requirement, the bill promotes greater access to the State’s natural resources and encourages young people to engage in fishing.
