A new bill in the New Jersey Legislature sets fines for beachgoers who don’t properly secure beach umbrellas and vendors who fail to warn the public about the risks of their use.

The bill was introduced late last month by Monmouth County Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling. It prohibits opening a beach umbrella at a public beach during wind speeds of 25 mph or greater unless it is secured to the ground using an auger, sandbag or another anchoring device.
