AB 1008

This bill provides that the Department of Natural Resources may not charge an

admission fee to enter a state trail to any person with a disability who is operating

or riding on a tandem or side-by-side bicycle or being pulled in a trailer by a bicycle

if the other operator of the tandem or side-by-side bicycle or the operator of the

bicycle pulling the trailer has a current, valid state trail pass.

Under current law, DNR is required to issue an annual state trail pass that

authorizes admission to a state trail for a fee of $25. DNR also issues a daily state

trail pass for a fee of $5. DNR is authorized to waive or alter these fees for certain

classes of persons or groups, certain areas, certain types of visitation or times of the

year, admission to special scheduled events or programs, or on a per person basis.

Currently, certain members and former members of the U.S. armed forces are

exempt from paying a fee to enter a state trail.
