What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, vehicles entering state parks are required to display an

annual or daily admission receipt, for which the Department of Natural Resources

charges a fee. Under current law, DNR may waive these admission fees under

certain circumstances. This bill requires DNR to waive any daily fee for admission

to a state park on April 22 of each year in commemoration of Earth Day and its

founder, Gaylord Nelson.
