What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law requires that vehicles entering state parks and certain other properties under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) display a daily or an annual vehicle admission receipt, or sticker. Fees for these stickers are established by statute, with a lower fee charged for vehicles that have Wisconsin registration plates, and a higher fee charged for vehicles registered in another state.
This bill requires DNR to charge the lower fee for a vehicle operated by a person who is serving on active duty in the U.S. armed forces, is a member of the Wisconsin national guard, or is a member of a reserve unit of the U.S. armed forces, regardless of whether the vehicle has Wisconsin registration plates. Under the bill, in order to qualify for the lower fee, the person must submit proof of his or her qualifying status to DNR.
