A bill co-sponsored by Jersey Shore Congressman Chris Smith that will help children and adults on the autism spectrum and their families has been passed and now signed into law by President Donald Trump.
More than 200 people gathered outside the U.S. Post Office on Main Street in Belmar at a ceremony to rename the building in honor of Dr. Walter S. McAfee.
Bipartisan legislation to support and pursue remedies and interventions for the 1.5-million children with autism has been approved unanimously by the U.S. House of Representatives.
The beach replenishment contractor, Weeks Marine, will be returning to Point Pleasant Beach to pump additional sand in sections that experienced significant erosion during May's severe weather storms.
The bill will require enhanced vehicle identification procedures to create a safer environment for ride-share drivers and customers and to make it harder for those with ill intent from impersonating drivers.
