What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Natural Resources to ensure that insect

repellant is available for purchase in every state park and state forest, either by

selling it at a state park or state forest office or other location in the park or forest

when open and staffed, or by arranging by agreement with a friends group that

operates a concession stand in the state park or state forest to sell it when the stand

is open and staffed.
