New Jersey A4059 exempts emergency personnel from certain personal watercraft restrictions while on duty.

New Jersey A4059 modifies existing personal watercraft regulations to allow certain emergency personnel to bypass specific restrictions while performing their duties. These exceptions apply to law enforcement officers, fire department members, beach patrol officers, and emergency medical services personnel. The bill ensures these professionals can operate personal watercraft without the usual limitations, such as speed restrictions near shorelines, swimming areas, people in the water, and residential areas. This act takes effect immediately.
