This bill mandates that the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) waive walk-in and bicycle entrance fees to State parks and forests during specific holidays, namely Memorial Day weekend, the week of the Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekend. The legislation aims to encourage public access to these natural spaces by eliminating fees for those entering on foot or by bicycle during these peak holiday times.

The bill is set to take effect one year after its enactment, allowing time for the DEP to implement the necessary changes to their fee structure. By removing these fees, the bill seeks to promote outdoor activities and enhance the enjoyment of New Jersey's parks and forests during significant holiday periods.
