What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill eliminates the requirement that the Department of Natural Resources

issue a state trail pass and prohibits DNR from charging a person an admission fee

for entering any state trail.

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.
