These guidelines must include recommendations for ramps, restrooms, showers, boardwalks, surf chairs, parking, and other facilities. The DEP must consult with the Department of Human Services and consider guidelines from the United States Access Board. The guidelines will be published on the DEP's website and distributed to all counties and municipalities with publicly-owned beaches.
