What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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.
